For most of us, our emotions can be our best friend or our worst enemy. The fact of the matter is if you are going to accomplish anything in your life, you must get emotional about it. Let me explain what I mean.

Emotion is what fuels the thoughts and beliefs that you have inside of you. Emotion is what gives life to your thoughts and perceptions in life and in return, the thoughts and your perceptions of life will continue to feed your emotions, whether in a negative or positive way.

Whatever goal, whatever dream, whatever vision that you have, will never come to fruition unless you first get emotional about it.

Let me give you an example: Let’s say that you wake up one morning and it is cloudy and gloomy outside. The sun is nowhere to be seen. You start walking over to the bathroom sink to brush your teeth and on your way you stub your toe on a corner of the door. Ouch! Then you turn the knob on the sink to run some water to wash your face and …there is no running water for you to use!

At this point most people would say “Boy today is going to be a bad day”. Emotionally they have aligned themselves with the negative perception for the entire day based on circumstances that happened in the first 5 minutes of the day!

And sure enough the day ends up going down a spiral path of energy sucking, non productive situations within their minds and robs them of their victory.

This is because your thoughts, combined with your feelings, are creating your emotions which are literally attracting and creating the effect of the circumstances which you find yourself experiencing each and every minute of each and every day!

Notice I said the “effect of the circumstances” or in other words, your perception of things, which turns out to be your reality.

“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”. Proverbs 23:7

If we are ever going to get ahead in life and accomplish our goals and see our dreams flourish, we must learn to master our emotions. Like a skilled craftsman we must learn to wield our emotions to serve our divinely given purpose and break thru the barriers we face.

The first thing that we must realize is that there is no such thing as a negative emotion. All emotions experienced by humans serve some constructive purpose in our lives. The problem doesn’t lie in the emotion itself but again, in our perspective of that emotion or more precisely what event the emotion is tied to.

If in the past you have experienced a lack of finances, and if you allowed this lack of financial resource to produce in you a fear of uncertainty or a sense of despair then whenever you experience the same or similar circumstances those emotions are almost certain to arise again. In doing so, you will attract more of the same into your life and the vicious cycle is repeated over and over gain.

So the question remains, how do we get rid of negative emotions? It’s really quite simple. Choose to purposely focus your mind on things that empower you. Thoughts are energy. They are made of one of the highest forms of energy in our Universe.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.” Phil 4:8

When you focus on thoughts that empower you, you get rid of the thoughts that suck your energy out of you. You can only think one thought at a time; therefore make that one thought a thought that serves God’s purpose for your life. IN doing so you are increasing your EQ-Emotional Quotient.

In doing so you will transform your mindset and thru that transform your everyday life.

You must also bring with these thoughts a measure of faith in order for you to experience what you desire.

Let’s say that you want to make more money than what you are currently making. When you wake up tomorrow morning, go look yourself in the mirror and say a prayer full of conviction, faith and emotion:

“Lord I thank you because today is the first day of the rest of my life! I thank you because I am closer to my destiny today than I was yesterday! I expect to find opportunities that will empower me to make more money today. Lord today, in every way, I am growing closer to your will for my life! Everyday, in every way I am growing financially wiser and wiser. Thank you Father for your goodness and your love for me”.

While you are saying this simple prayer, buy into it emotionally, envelope yourself in the thoughts that go along with this prayer: thoughts of gratitude, thoughts of power, thoughts of abundance and thoughts of destiny.

Also, you can be specific with the prayer. For example you can say “Lord I thank you that you have allowed the $10,000 that I need to pay off my car into my life today”.

Do this simple exercise everyday and soon enough, you will realize that you are attracting more and more the things that you want into your life and less of what you don’t.

Remember. whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right either way.
