Your emotions are your biggest handicap.
I love this quote. The follow-on takes it to another level.
To say our emotions get in the way of accurate thinking might be an understatement.
Unfortunately, you can easily trick yourself into thinking whatever you want. Tie a big enough emotion to anything, and it's hard to get away from that thought. The accuracy no longer matters to you unless you're willing to challenge yourself.
That's a skill many people want to believe they have, but the reality is they do not.
Question everything, especially yourself. And especially if it's linked to a strong emotion.
No excuses!
