BECOME EMOTIONALLY SUCCESSFUL
Successful |
The way we do that the way we have the love the warmth the appreciation the gratefulness the curiosity the excitement of passion guess I would get that we decide to feel it see I teach people my date with destiny create what I call a code of conduct it's a set of emotional states that you put in front of you and you say that every single day you are committed to live those emotions even if things don't go well even if it rains on your parade even if all your expectations are not met you choose to feel this way anyway because cultivating these emotions makes life work and out of these emotions it causes you to do the things that make life for you successful in every sense of the word mental emotional social spiritual intellectual physical financial every sense of what success can mean for all of us so we want to cultivate each of these emotions fifth major emotion to cultivate determination hey you want to go on a diet you want to get yourself to follow through it's really hard to do isn't it most people fail because they try to push themselves go on a diet rather than putting himself in a state of determination so if you're determined now die 'it is easy because you're in an emotional state where the appropriate behaviors happen automatically the sixth powerful seed to plant to make your garden grow with joy and passion and energy flexibility boy if there's a seed to plant that will guarantee success it's the ability to change what's going on all those action signals all those things used to call negative emotions are just a call to be more flexible more flexible the way you evaluate things your perception of what things really mean be more flexible in the way you communicate be more flexible in your behavior and your whole world changes the seventh major emotion confidence when you're confident you're willing to try things you're willing to put yourself on the edge you're willing to really experience that one emotion that every single religious book on a planet talks about faith a one way to get confidence one way to develop faith is to use the muscle more often to practice it to exercise it I often ask people you know are you confident in tying your shoes and people say oh of course so how come they say absolutely confident and so how come because I've done it a few billion times well if you want to have confidence the best way to have it is exercise it every day utilize it have some faith have some trust choose to be confident in a situation and you'll discover that you're going to do well for example most people are fearful about things that they think some day may happen and they feel bad about it in advance how many of the things you used to be fearful about never came about just think of those times you'd chosen to be confident you would have reinforced that confidence is the way to live choose confidence over fear 8 be cheerful gosh you know I add it to my values less cheerfulness not long ago when I did people around me common it kind of something about you you seemed so happy I thought I was always happy but you know what there's a difference in being happy on the inside and being cheerful being cheerful means that when you're happy you tell your face about it nothing works together that when you're communicating with people and you're feeling happy on the inside they feel happy being around you it means that you're trying to be happy in a way that not only makes you feel happy but the people around you as well and cultivating that emotion enhances your self-esteem makes life more fun causes people to respond to you in a way
Well you need a lot less of this stuff like fear and hurt and anger and frustration and disappointment and overload and depression and guilt and feelings of inadequacy all those seem to disappear in an environment that's cheerful cultivate this emotion you won't need so many of those action signals to get your attention here's number 9 feeling healthy gosh feeling physically vibrant and healthy it's a great way to make sure that anything else bounces off you have you ever noticed how when you got tons of energy you feel alive you feel vital the challenges even the challenges that used to really destroy it you seem to handle some better so much easier it's like those action signals aren't really necessary when you feel vibrant and alive cultivate the feelings of being healthy and practice the things you know will make you feel physically vibrant an ongoing basis and finally the tenth seed to plant maybe they're one of the most important ones of all is a sense of contribution if everyday you can feel like what you do add something more than just to your own life but to others as well then life takes on a new deeper sense of meaning I think we all have a need to feel like our life matters like because we lived other people's lives were better they were greater they were more enjoyable we all want to leave our mark and each day we can do that in little ways we can do it by the way we smile at somebody we don't even know or by giving a compliment or but just by appreciating someone who really needs to be appreciated soft and people get angry because they don't feel appreciated maybe the next time you start to feel angry just realize that you've got a standard there that says if I do this people have to respond to me and maybe that's inappropriate maybe from now on you learn to make yourself feel good you learn to appreciate yourself or you learn to communicate to people and say you know I'm not feeling very appreciated I love those few strokes here they're you know what you get yourself that anger in a heartbeat you've taken a new task a new direction but in your own life why not every day just focus on how you can contribute how you already have contributed notice the little things you do to support other people they'll make you feel good about yourself and it'll make you want to do even more and the more we contribute the more addicted we get to giving more to other people and if everybody in life got addicted to this feeling of contribution imagine what the world would be like so those are the ten seeds love and warmth appreciation and gratitude curiosity excitement and passion determination flexibility confidence cheerfulness health and a sense of contribution plant these emotions daily and watch your whole life grow with a vitality like you've never dreamed of before...
