Emotional well-being is foundational to success in many areas of life. It leads to a stable and steady life style.

Emotional well-being is very important in school, even for children. A happy, healthy mind results in better concentration on school work, diligence in study, and better grades. A sad or frightened mind can result in poor school work. The student may be afraid he cannot meet the standards required of him. He may feel that, no matter how well he does, it is not good enough. Therefore, he will not care enough to put in the extra effort, and his grades will slip. A good, hearty breakfast and a happy thought to start the day will aid in producing healthy emotions. 

Emotional well-being is also crucial in the work place. Entering into the tasks at hand with high spirits will result in excellent work. The worker with a cheerful outlook will have greater motivation. He will also enjoy his work and do a better job and make fewer mistakes. His good attitude will help to raise the morale of others. Time management skills will be good, and he will be confident in his activities, knowing that his work is right. When he starts a task, he will also finish it. If he were unstable, he would be worrying about what everyone was thinking of him. He would be trying to please everybody and would be discouraged if his work was criticized. Stable emotions result in a pleasant and productive work environment.

Another area in which emotional well-being is essential is the area of relationships. A person who is always sad, worried, afraid, or unsure of himself will have a hard time maintaining good relationships. He will wonder if his friends accept him or not, and he will be worried about everything he says or does. Instead of being an encouragement to them, he will be focused on himself. A person with strong and stable emotions will make a good friend. He will be able to listen and share in the needs of others and encourage and strengthen them.

Emotional well-being helps hold together family relationships. Where wholesome thoughts and attitudes are cultivated, harmony and tranquility are preserved. Happy Moms and Dads produce happy children and nourish contentment in the family.

Finally, emotional well-being is essential for good leadership. A leader who is secure in his thoughts and outlook in life will be able to lead others with certainty and conviction. He will be able to make wise decisions that are safe for others to respect and adhere to. As he sets an example of faithfulness in his responsibilities, those under his leadership will follow and will become dependable and trustworthy as well. Good emotional health is vital to fostering a steady and unwavering lifestyle.
