Four Emotions That Change Your Life
Let me just quickly give you a list of four emotions that can change your life in
one day.
Emotions are powerful.
Sometimes it doesn't take much to alter your whole life direction.
In this video, we'll break down all four, starting with the
simplest one all the way to the one that could completely
change your life.
Okay, here they are. Number one,
disgust.
Powerful emotion. Disgust says, "I
have had it." See, that could be the day.
The day you can say, "I've had it."
And whether you've had it with something small or something major, the day you can
say, "I've had it," may not be the day it ends,
but the day it
begins
could be the day that turns your life around.
The day you can say, "I've had it."
Powerful.
But the next one hits different. Jim says most people don't struggle to
think
clearly. They struggle to decide.
Here's the next one,
decision.
And decision-making is powerful, and it's emotional.
That's those knots in the pit of your stomach, right?
Waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat trying to
decide.
We sometimes call it inner civil war.
What shall I do?
Well, for progress, you must decide.
If it's easy, do it easy. If it's hard, do it hard.
Just get it done.
If you went home tonight and in the next few days cleaned up a
whole
list of decisions, that might furnish enough inspiration for
the next ten
years.
I found this out many times after you've decided getting on with it is
easier than deciding. Sometimes decision is the toughest part.
Number three, you've probably felt this before.
Something just clicks after a book, a conversation, a seminar.
Jim explains exactly why that happens.
Here's the next emotion, desire. Wanting to bad enough, and I
don't know how to tell you to want to. That's something you've got to come up
with.
There's two things I know about desire.
Number one, it comes from inside, not outside.
You don't send off for it. Number two, I know
desire can be triggered
by something.
Sometimes desire waits and sleeps for something to happen.
Maybe it's a book. Maybe it's a song. Maybe it's a sermon.
Maybe it's a lecture, a seminar. Maybe it's the
conversation of a friend, a happening, an event.
Welcome every human experience.
You never know which one is gonna turn it all on,
even the bad experiences. So let down the barriers.
Take down the walls. The same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out
happiness. Let life touch you. Don't let it kill you, but let
it touch you.
The final point, there's a difference between wanting
something and deciding
you will have it. Once you say, "I will," everything changes.
Here's the last one.
This one's powerful. Resolve.
Resolve says, "I will." Two of the most powerful words
in the
language, I will.
Nothing can resist a human will that will
stake even its existence on the extent of its purpose.
Shortly put, I'll do it or die.
See, that's powerful. That could be the day
that turns your life around.
The world has a strange way of stepping aside when somebody says, "I'll do it or
die."
The man says, "I will climb the mountain.
They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's too rocky,
it's too difficult.
It's never been done before, but it's my mountain. I will climb it.
Pretty soon you'll see me waving from the top
or dead on the side, 'cause I ain't coming back."
Four emotions, one day, and potentially a completely different
direction for your life. If this video gave you something to think
