Why is it important that we remain emotionally stable? Dr Helgo Schomer says emotions are necessary in life, and very powerful.
He says as human beings we need to establish whether our emotion serve the purpose of life. Are they supporting your personality or are they going against you in terms of your aims and goals?
Emotion is necessary. It is a way of seeing life to energize you, caution you, redirect you and shape you.

There is no human being on this planet that would not feel either good or bad emotions to some extent in their lives.
