Wisdom That's All you Need!

By Dr. Muhammad Arqam SultanPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

I see so many people every day fight the same battle and battle is between logic and emotion I logically know I shouldn’t eat cake I logically know I should get up early and go to bed early.

I logically know that sitting on the sofa watching box sets are not going to advance my career but I still do it over and over again that must be because I’m a loser or I’m weak, no you’re not a loser you’re not weak what’s happening is, you haven’t been taught a universal truth. So, let me teach it to you right now.

Logic Vs Emotion

When there is a battle between logic and emotion, emotion always always always wins. How many of you have gone to a really high building an enclosed building like the top story of a hotel or the CN Tower in Toronto and look down with it, “oh wow I feel really scared” my logic might know is that I’m safe, that the glass is that thick that I can’t fall.

But the emotion that’s making my stomach lurch is winning. So when you have a battle between emotion and logic. Emotion always always always wins here’s something you all know we can all ring our friend don’t go I’m a bit bored a bit lonely can I hang out on bit bored, let’s go to a movie. You would never ring someone you’ve just met and go I’m bored and lonely will you come and hang out I mean will let’s go to the movie because the emotion that you might be rejected will overrule a logic that says this person may be the person for me.

So if you’re having a battle between yourself, here’s a great one I know I shouldn’t eat cake that’s the logic with the emotion is oh the cake feels so good and this creamy sugary stuff reminds me of being a baby when all my needs were met by having creamy sugary stuff. So in a battle during emotion and logic will never win emotion will always win and you can make that win for you by making it a better image.

Solution

So here’s how to do it here’s an emotion. I’m scared to ask for a pay rise if my boss laughs me out of the office to make it a stronger emotion. If I go to my boss and show them what I’ve done, how valuable I am.

That won’t happen, here’s an emotion I really want to ask that person on a date. I’m not good enough to change the emotion I’m wonderful I’m amazing what could I get from asking someone on a date that says “yes”, so much and if they say “no”, I’m only exactly where I was before, except I’ve been brave I’ve done something courageous. I’ve taken action even if it doesn’t work out I’ve lost nothing but I’ve gained courage.

Conclusion

So when you are having a battle with logic and emotion. Emotion always wins logic never wins that’s why you could stand on the windowsill of your apartment if it was on the ground floor but you would never stand on the windows their same size. If it was a hundred stories up because the emotion that you may for defeat the logic that says “I can do this when it’s a few feet off the ground”. why can’t I do it up here because emotion overrules logic you can make your life phenomenal extraordinary and wonderful by always using emotion to defeat emotion.

I want to speak to a crowd what if they don’t like me now the emotion says don’t do that but if you make the emotion better I can speak I’ve got something to say people like me and when I do that speech and I connect with that audience my life gets better and better and now I can give little speeches at work I can lead the team my boss just loves me recognizes me. I’m so valuable.

Now you’re exciting your imagination with a good emotion a powerful emotion and emotion that excites the imagination and your imagination loves love’s loves, to be excited when those battles come up to make the emotion more powerful music citing language and now you can win and you can win again and you can win again because you know what to do forget about logic use a stronger better more compelling emotion and you’ll get everything you want and even more
