Pro-activity

Here, I am not talking about pro-active management.

I am talking about emotional pro-activity. This means we can choose our emotional state of the moment. Victor Frankl was the first person to point out this and he pioneered this methodology which he called logotherapy.

We should only choose resourceful emotional states. We should be conscious of our unresourceful emotional states and pro-activitely take steps to eliminate these states from us. When that happens, we will find ourselves happier and wiser.

Positive emotional states are usually resourceful. Examples are love, joy, trust, courage, integrity.

Negative emotions are usually unresourceful. Examples are anger, hatred, sadness, fear.
