Be Like Spock
With the re-emergence of Star Trek to the screens, I can’t help but think of our friend Dr. Spock, with his calm cool demeanor. I contrast that with an incident that happened this week that had me nearly blinded with emotion. I’m sure we are all aware, strong emotions can blind you to other perspectives. My friend stepped in with the calm demeanor of Spock, and offered advice that seemed so simple and straight-forward, making me feel foolish for all of the wrong paths that my emotions had taken me down. Once I calmed down, I realized how simple the scenario was. Get in touch with your emotions and work them out. If you are overly emotional about anything, don’t trade that day. The goal is eventually to become a master of your own emotions. Be like Spock.
