Emotion general Quote

Our emotions have a mind of their own, one which can hold views quite independently of our rational mind - Dr Daniel Goleman
It means your feelings aren't just a messy byproduct of your thoughts. They are a separate, powerful, and often primitive processing system that can arrive at conclusions , and drive actions , all on its own, completely bypassing your logical brain.

Emotion general Quote

The emotional mind is quicker than the rational mind, and it can hijack our thoughts before reason has a chance to act - Dr Daniel Goleman
It means our feelings have a faster, more direct line to our actions than our logical thoughts do. It's about that split-second where emotion takes the wheel.
