The Power of Emotions

The voice of Athena exists within you right now. You are not connected to this higher power in the present because your mind is weighed down with emotions. To cultivate his inner Athena, Pericles first had to find a way to master his emotions. Emotions turn us inward, away from nows, away from reality. We dwell on our anger or our insecurities. If we look out at the world and try to solve problems, we see things through the lens of these emotions.
