Have you ever stopped to think about the source of your emotions? According to Sadhguru, the answer lies within ourselves. We have the power to manufacture whatever emotions we want – joy or misery, fear or love, hatred, anger, anxiety or ecstasy.

This perspective is both empowering and daunting. It means that we are responsible for our own emotional state, and that we have the ability to choose how we respond to life's challenges. When we recognize this power, we can begin to take control of our emotions and create the life we want.

Many of us believe that external events or people dictate our emotions. However, this perspective suggests that we have the power to choose how we respond to these stimuli. By acknowledging and harnessing this power, we can break free from the influence of external factors and cultivate a more positive and resilient mindset.

It starts with self-awareness and a willingness to take responsibility for our emotional state. By practicing mindfulness, meditation, and other spiritual disciplines, we can cultivate inner peace and develop a more positive outlook on life.

What do you think about this perspective on emotions? Do you believe that we have the power to manufacture our emotions, or do you think external circumstances play a bigger role? Share your thoughts.
