Undestanding the Nature of Emotions by Osho
Emotions cannot be permanent. The word comes from "motion", movement. They move. From one to another you continually change.This moment you are sad, that moment you are happy; this moment you are angry, that moment you are compassionate. This moment you are loving, another moment full of hatred; the morning was beautiful, the evening is ugly. And this goes on. This cannot be your nature, because all these changes something is needed like a thread that holds all of them together.The Four Emotions That Can Lead to Life Change by Jim Rohn
- Disgust: One does not usually equate the word "disgust" with positive action. And yet properly channeled, disgust can change a person's life
- Desire: How does one gain desire? I don't think I can answer this directly because there are many ways. But I do know two things about desire.
- Resolve: Resolve says, "I will." These two words are among the most potent in the English language. I WILL. Benjamin Disraeli, the great British statesman, said, "Nothing can resist a human will that will stake even its existence on the extent of its purpose." In other words, when someone resolves to "do or die," nothing can stop him.
