Interpretation

What this quote means

Our emotions often override our desires, influencing our actions more strongly than our wishes or intentions.

This quote by Neville Goddard highlights the profound impact of our feelings on our behavior and decisions. It suggests that even when we consciously wish for something, our underlying emotions and feelings can dominate and ultimately dictate our actions, leading to outcomes that are shaped more by what we feel than what we hope. Recognizing this dynamic can help individuals align their emotional state with their desires to achieve their goals more effectively.

Everyone recognizes a distinction between knowledge and wisdom. . . Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature, career, and consequences of human values. Since these cannot be separated from the human organism and the social scene, the moral ways of man cannot be understood without knowledge of the ways of things and institutions.
