Emotional Potential
This involves acknowledgement of the feelings of other people and we may express joy,
fear, anger, crying, or bursting out verbally.
When you do not control your emotions, we might experience various degree of anxiety,
anger, repression, depression. We must therefore be aware of the meaning of our emotions and
how we express these. When we recognize disharmony, express it. Share these feelings with
others because when we bury emotions, we lose part of ourselves. So release them. Don’t keep
them to yourself.

Spiritual potential
This involves the understanding the purpose of our existence on earth, our life
experience. Where did we come from? Where are we heading? Why are we here?
