Are you driven by Emotion or Logic?

When I think of someone who is driven by emotion, I imagine someone who wakes up and plans their day based on how they feel. I also think of a person who is heavily influenced by the actions of others and allows it to dictate how they engage in other areas of their life. I think we are driven by emotion to a certain extent. Some of us are better and faster at putting things into perspective.

    If I'm stressed or angry, emotion. But other than that, logic. Isn't that everyone though?

    I have a bad temper also and a lot times it keeps me from being productive. One bad or negative thought can set the tone for an ENTIRE day(for me atleast). We all have negative thoughts, but once we have become consumed with these negative feelings we tend to be much more sensitive to the world around us. Thus allowing ourselves to be further and further driven by emotion. I think what helps is if we all have an end game or agenda. Whether its for today or ten years from now, if we have an agenda we will be less likely to let incoherent thoughts and emotions jeopardize it from it becoming into fruition. agree?

    I would say logic. If it was emotion, I think I would be in a completely different place right now.

I havent smashed in 2 months because i work all the time (40-50 hours a week) and now school started n im always studying then i got a son.

    I got this offer for a job in NYC, but its 100% commision, its risky but im finna to jus say ? it, cuz i reallly jus wanna get away, day by day im thinkin more emotionally, the lifestyles of my peers is started to get to me. Cuz they all havin the time of they life.

Now im over here postin on this site. this cant be life lol

    your doing the things you should be doing as a responsible young man. If your inability to ? ? and party at this time in your life is causing you to think irrationally then you need to distance yourself from the friends who are engaged in such activities. Embrace what you do have (a child,youth, and a chance to further your education) and shun what you cannot have. You are still young as ? and even though I'm only 3yrs older than you I wish I could be twenty again. Why? Because when I think back there was always something I could have done or shouldn't have done to make life that much more easier at this current moment in time. We are our actions and we are all just mere reflections of the choices we made prior to this current moment.

    I mean i feel u 100% man, but dude, at the same time u gotta live ur life man, like idk if u listen to J.cole but that ? got the drive, all i think about is the drive n makin it for me n my fam but its at the cost of me havin a lame lifestyle. I mean damn man even havin a gf is somethin i cant do, i wanna really date this girl but i got so much responsibilities that i cant live my life man, these past 2 months i jus been unhappy, i mean whats the point of bein driven n gettin money if u aint happy u kno?

    n me havin a child aint help AT ALL, i kno its my fault but its blockin alot of what i wanna do, idk how long i can take it for man, i gotta get away, after this semester imma really jus take that job offer even if i might get screwed n not sell, itll jus be a chance to get away n live life. i wanna make it, i wanna be somebody, but my lifes BORING man, shiii my peak was when i was 16, what type of ? is that, it makes a ? go crazy

    it depends on what needs to get done that day. if there's things i need to do then they need to get done no ifs, ands or buts about it. if i don't have much to do one day then i'll just go with the flow & do whatever i feel like doing.

    I float along the breezes of spontaiety and at any time I can drift into an emotional state.

    No not really it depends tho. I'm usually logical, but people don't realize how much emotion can really play a part in their normal decision making.

    Majority of my decisions are based off my ? , not sure how much logic or emotion plays into it.
