Which emotion drives your life ?

by anna on February 4th, 2008

I have been thinking lately about life, amazing how you look at life in a different way when you witness a death of a human being. I am coming to the conclusion that everyone is driven by something - fear, guilt, anger or the need to be loved.

Bereavement affects how you view and indeed live life. It can be guilt over the loss of your loved one, it   may be fear of coping in the future, it may be anger at someone dying, it may be that loss of feeling loved. I think it is important that we think about what is driving us because whatever it is, is taking control of our minds. If we can think about the emotions inside of us, then we can start addressing the issue.

I think as human beings we are at our happiest when we are in control of our lives, in control of our emotions…to regain that control we need to not let the past shape our future. So here are a couple of questions that I am starting to ask myself, maybe they will help you too

• What emotion is driving my life?
• How can I face that emotion so that I can regain control of my life?
