Although the emotions are the powerhouse of the mind, one factor can cause the power center to shift. Focus plays a very strategic role in harnessing the mind’s power. If we focus on our feelings, we increase their power. If we focus on our reason, we increase its power. The mind is incredibly plastic in that it can switch the power center by choice in an instant. Focus puts us in control of what masters our mind. We must not ignore the role of focus.
Emotions Linger In Spite of the Role of Focus
However, although we can learn to instantly lessen the grip of emotion’s over us by focusing on what makes more sense, the emotions don’t instantly fade — especially for the NF. The emotions linger, and we battle their power long after our submission to reason.
Focus Does Not Replace Emotion’s Role
Emotions don’t want to give up their dominance. They are there for a purpose, and that purpose is often to alert us to danger, external or internal. They cry for attention and are silenced only when we persist on the path of reason or the path of another opposing emotion.
Next, we’ll discuss the “hot” emotions and temperament

Our first and most important task in a world-changing mission is to learn how to think straight (and teach straight thinking) and combat the insurgence of crooked thinking in our culture and in our world today. If we become passive victims of this crooked way of thinking, we promote it. Furthermore, if we remain silent, we also give it credence. In Who Am I?, the reader progresses from how we have become “crooked thinkers” to how to break out of this prison of the mind to become instruments of change for a better world. We do this by recognizing from where we derive our value as humans. “Build a straight and powerful mind.” ~ Ray W. Lincoln
