Undeniably, there must be at some point in your life when you make a decision based on the emotion you had at that time.
But when the time comes, please keep it in your mind to never make any promises when you are happy and never make decisions when you are angry. Later, you’ll find yourself regretting doing so, either making a wrong decision or a promise that you can’t deliver.
That’s why calmness is a vital thing in your life. It would be best if you were as calm as possible whenever you want to make decisions, especially in essential things in your lives, whether about your career, dream, marriage, etc.
Because only when you calm can you make a better and rationalized decision. And trust me, the better decision you make, the better, the more chance you will become successful in your life.
Thus, to inspire you to become calm whenever a storm comes in your life and not to make a decision based on emotion, here are some quotes for you;
