Rich Bello explains that emotions are a natural, integral internal guidance system that shape behavior and decision-making.

So emotions, first of all, are natural and integral part of human life. They play a significant role in shaping our behavior. I look at them as our internal guidance system. Signals us to react in response to certain stimuli. Now, positive emotions mean they're on the right path. And they encourage us to continue moving in that direction. And this is critical for our survival. That's why we have these emotions. They are survival instincts. Negative emotions, on the other hand, indicate we're on the wrong path. And they encourage us to course correct toward behavior and actions. That will be even more conducive to our survival.
