"Consider how one would best fake an emotion: simply by motivating oneself to feel that way."

Brilliant. I need to remember this phrase.

I'm considering this quote, and also wondering how it would be possible, as most people hold the belief that you can't feel anything that your heart doesn't want to feel. Is it irrational to 'listen to ones heart'? Can you really change your thinking, motivate yourself to change your thoughts and thus change your feelings?
