DAY 100/5000: HE'S PROBABLY NOT NEAR HIS PHONE
What a beautiful day today is. Thanks be to God.
And yes, today is our 100th day, yayy.
We are going to talk about something very powerful [signpost intended]
It's something that will correct 90% of your thinking.
And that is _Emotional Reasoning_
Yesterday, if you remember, we talked of emotional thinking and why it's bad.
So what then is emotional reasoning.
Let me give you a scenario
If you waved at someone you know and admire and the person did not wave back.
Which of these reasons will sit right with you.
1. He dislikes me
2. He did not see me.
3. Because I did not invite him to the party the last time, he's angry at me.
You know any of these reasons could be right but most of us are most least likely to go with the second reason but which is most likely to be the reason.
Why this disposition though? Because we are emotional beings and we default to emotional reasoning all the time.
But here's the most interesting part
Emotions feels concrete, feels real, feels right and thus thus we prefer to reason along with it.
But emotions in reasoning creates hubris. They cloud reasoning. The cloud judgment.
Also, the most valid reasons most of the time are the least emotional ones.
What does this mean for you? It means that whenever you are reasoning; make sure you reason along the least emotional line.
This is practiced diligently will save you from uneccessry suffering and chaos.
Peace. Celebrate with me cos it's our 100th day 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
A scenario workout for you;
If you called someone three times and he didn't call.
What reasons should you opt for.
1. He doesn't want to answer my call
2. He's probably not near his phone
3. He's angry with me.
