YES, we need some emotion to motivate us, but it needs to be the right emotion at the right time applied in the right way. The more emotional we become, the stupider we become. This is because emotions want us to react blindly and physically rather than to think or be objective and rational.
You can select your situation and how you gonna react with it. Let say if you know that you are most likely to become angry when in a rush then be there earlier and don't leave things for the last minute.
Change your thought. You feel sad when you believe to have lost something, anger when you decide that an important goal is thwarted, and happy when you believe something good is coming your way. By changing your thoughts, you may not be able to change the situation but you can at least change the way you believe the situation is affecting you. In cognitive reappraisal, you replace the thoughts that lead to unhappiness with thoughts that lead instead to joy or at least contentment (aka be positive, be motivated. Don't just easily feel down and thus gonna ruin your whole day and you affecting other people too).
So please be smart be intelligent, control your heart your emotions and your reaction. Most of all be motivated and don't let your thought your behaviour your anger your disappointment ruin your day.
