What are emotions? They are feelings on the inside that are caused by pain or happiness. These can be used to bring us to a desired direction; good or bad.
Emotions can be positive or negative. You choose which way you want to go, because you have power control your emotions.
If you let the negative emotions rule you then you will find yourself in a problem but try to overcome your emotions by pausing before taking any action.
