"Emotions are like clay, and you can mold them into the work of art that is your life. You have the capacity to transcend your set of petty grievances and emotional annoyances. The fact is that the biological life span of a particular emotion is about ninety seconds. It's the afterlife of that emotion that we mortals revive and bath in"- Chip Conley in Emotional Equations
The fact is that the biological life span of a particular emotion is about ninety seconds. WOW! You would think that it would be longer. It seems like we dwell in a world full of emotions that tend to last and last.
This line also made me think about how when I get a pain while running that they come in cycles. The pain comes, I feel it, and expect it to go away.
I have never thought about emotions in the same way. I can handle anything for 90 seconds. Bring it on! LOL The lesson is not to revive and bath in it. Embrace it, take the energy, and mold it into something productive.
Today's question is:
"Can you be tough for 90 seconds?"
