Emotions can be quite useful in steering through life. The emotional body knows more than the mind does, in many ways. For instance, you might have an uneasy feeling about a business deal with a certain person, but your mind is saying "Go for it!" This is your emotional wisdom and intelligence telling you that this is probably not a good avenue for you to pursue, or a good person for you to associate with, even though your mind is giving you a green light. Sometimes a negative emotion is giving you information about possible paths you might take, information that the mind is not capable of picking up on. If you find yourself feeling irritable or annoyed around a certain person, it is probably not healthy for you to be around this person often. If you're feeling unhappy in a certain situation, it is probably time to extract yourself and find new situations to be in.
