When it really comes down to it, our brain naturally puts emotion ahead of intellect. It's the part of us that we need to remember sometimes, when we're stressed, worked up, feeling unfulfilled. In serious events that involve other people we can empathise with or who are close to us it becomes so easy to drop all that. Our priorities can switch just like that because the emotional side of our brain will always take over. What is success to you? Money? A job? or simply to have a happy healthy family? The money and the job can sustain a happy healthy family, but all those small worries you have because of money and work just don't seem to compare when it ultimately comes to the people you love. Don't let small intellectual stresses distract you from the emotion we naturally need to put ahead of it - this is what makes us human. And this is why I always stress the importance of making a living out of something you love. |
