My experiences in life recently have taught me that it is much better to know than to feel. Feelings are very trite and temporary. Prior to reaching this conclusion, I was always waiting to start “feeling.” In other words, I was always waiting until I felt like doing something. This train of thought caused me to miss a lot of opportunities. Being an engineer, I have a hard time feeling emotions. In many ways, this revelation has been truly revolutionary. In the last few months, I have accomplished more goals than in the previous years. I now know what I need to do and no longer wait for the correct feelings to influence my actions. Knowing is not everything but it goes a long ways. I have found it impossible to stand under pressure without the knowledge why I am standing.
