Understanding the Power of Emotions on Decisions

By Somali K Chakrabarti
Emotions exert an alluring power over us!
More often than not, our emotions drive our thoughts and behavior, and come into play when we make decisions. While most of us love to believe that we work on reason and deliberation, the truth is that our behavior is highly influenced by sentiments, intuitions and emotions.
A person who is inspired or motivated by a purpose can do things beyond the ordinary. On the other hand, a person who finds himself in a hopeless situation, may dive into the depths of despair.
Recognizing the power of emotions is of paramount importance for perceiving the implications of emotions on your behavior and for developing the ability to make Emotionally Intelligent decisions.
'When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion.' - Dale Carnegie
