Emotions to Conquer in 2011
Continuing on the theme of my last post, which can be viewed here , there are several additional things we can do in order to really move forward in 2011. Sometimes our emotions get the best of us, and these can keep us spinning in circles, or even knock us completely off track and move us in the wrong direction altogether. Let’s take a look:
1. GUILT – Guilt is such a dangerous feeling to have, it literally holds us hostage and freezes us in our tracks. Realize that feeling guilty is a choice. If you are feeling guilty about something, ask yourself why. Should you get something off your chest, should you fess us about something? Often times we carry around guilt needlessly, for no reason. Release it.
2. ANGER – Anger really has no usefulness here, it only seeks to destroy. Leave anger behind, or you will NEVER have peace in your life.
3. BOREDOM – Are you living your life without any passion, or zest? Are you bored? If so, then what’s to keep you moving forward, what’s to motivate you to keep getting better? Find something to arouse your passion and love for life, and find it quick!
4. BLAME – This is a biggie. It is so easy for us to blame others, blame the economy, blame our boss, blame our neighbor, blame our job, etc. But really we must take 100% responsibility for our lives and our current situation. Forget the blame game and focus on ourselves. That is the only way we will ever be free.
5. FEAR – This can be a killer. Fear can keep us from doing anything. Fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, rejection, loss, etc. Maybe it’s fear of failure, but it could also be fear of success. Sometimes we fear what will happen if we become successful, wealthy, etc. Will people look at me the same, will it change me, will I lose the people I love? Here’s the thing guys. The ones who love you will love you no matter what. If they don’t, then they really didn’t love you in the first place. It’s okay to have fear, just don’t let that stop you from following your dreams.
Again, thanks to Mr. Brad Hager for this inspiring information.
Have a prosperous and joyous 2011.
