The ten emotions of Power...Learning and Using



4. Learning and Using..If you want to make your life really work, you must make your emotions work for you.You can't run from them; you can't tune them out; you can't trivialize them or delude yourself about what they mean. Nor can you allow them to run your life. Emotions, even those that seem painful in the short term, are truly like an internal compass that points you toward the actions you must take to arrive at your goals. Without knowing how to use this compass,s you'll be forever at the mercy of any psychic tempest that blows your way.

Many therapeutic disciplines begin with the mistaken presuppositon that emotions are our enemies or that our emotional well-being is rooted in our past. The truth is that you and I can go from crying to laughing in a heartbeat if the pattern of our mental focus and physiology is merely interrupted strongly enough. Freudian psychoanalysis, for example, searches for those "deep dark secrets" in our past to explain our present difficulties. Yet we all know that whatever you continually look for, you will surely find. If you constantly look for the reasons why your past has hamstrung your present, or why you're so "screwed up," then your brain will comply by providing references to back up your request and generate the appropriate negative emotions.

Increase your wealth

The most important thing you'll ever do in your financial life is to decide to truly understand  the various types of investments  and what their potential risks and returns are.  Responsible advisors will make certain that all of their clients thoroughly understand the kinds of investments that are available and that they take part in the development of their own financial plans.  Without a clear-cut investment plan, you will eventually fail financially.

Fortunately, the answers to your financial questions...

Take control of your financial l future...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values. You may have all the wealth in the world but you may be too old to enjoy it, or you may have a  major illness which does not allow you to enjoy your wealth.

Commit yourself to long-term results

Cute cute baby Cute cute baby Deciding to commit yourself to long-term results, rather than short-term fixes, is as important as any decision you'll make in your lifetime. Failing to do this can cause not only massive financial  or societal pain, but sometimes even the ultimate personal pain. One young man you may have heard of dropped out of high school because he decided he wasn't going to wait any longer to follow his dream of becoming a famous musician. But this dream didn't become reality quickly enough.  In fact, by  the time he was twenty-two, he feared  that he had made the wrong decision, and that no one would ever love his music. He'd been playing in piano bars, and he was flat broke, sleeping in laundromats  because he no longer had a home.  The only thing that had been holding him together was his romantic relationship.  Then his girlfriend decided to leave him, and when she did, it pushed him over the edge. He immediately focu...
