Feelings, goals and strategy

Sometimes feelings get into our lives in a big way and tend to distort everything, coloring the choices we make and changing the paths we take. Generally, the younger we are and the easier it is to fall into the trap of letting our feelings dictate our decisions.

Of course, our goals - if we've set them - should be our guiding principles and get us where we want to go with the help of a tailor-made strategy. Feelings are far less powerful in the presence of a game plan and when there is a prize for us to keep our eyes upon.

So whenever you find yourself torn with conflicting thoughts, experiences or feeling, always keep a cool head, remember what the goals are, review the strategy, tinker with the mix if you must and you should be headed into the right direction!
