Emotions Matter
Our emotions are an integral key to our personal growth and success. We need to tend to them, listen to them, because they point us towards something that we are needing. They also will clue us on what thoughts are guiding us.
How you handle your emotions has a direct effect on your success:
whose swiftness and right handling
depend the races of your life.
of the feelings of his horse. He never jerks the reins and yells at him. He never lets him stand uncurried and unfed in a dirty stable, with little yapping, snapping curs to torment him. He never loads him with unnecessary burdens and flogs him up hill and down. -Elizabeth Towne |

As is Mrs. Towne's style she makes her point with examples all of us can relate to. (If you're never been near horses - like me- just think of how you would treat your pet).
He never jerks the reins and yells at him, yet, how often do we put ourselves down, with our discouraging thoughts? Telling ourselves things like: "This is too hard, it can't be done, I won't be able to pull it off..." And the list goes on...
Let's say you're visualizing your dream and as you become enthusiastic you discover an underlying sense of fear, which is keeping you from moving toward your desired goal, (inner peace, an improved relationship with a loved one, an increase in income) what do you do? Do you "ignore" it? Or try to "suppress" it?
...keep your eye on the stake you have set, and keep sticking to it mentally, fears or no fears.
First you must acknowledge your fear. Trying to ignore it won't work, it only makes matters worse. Fear is a natural human feeling, necessary for survival. It's the fight or flight response to danger.
Because our feelings and our thoughts work intimately together, some of our fears may be "unfounded", thought-induced. What do I mean by this? Well, that fear borne of what I call the "what if's," usually catastrophic "fantasies" we create in our minds with our thoughts (very real, mind you- sorry no pun intended!) can wreak havoc and stunt our success - thus the power of our mind/thought process!
Imagine if you could use the power of your thoughts to your advantage. How would your life be?
When we are able to identify founded fears from fantasy-induced-fears we can become clearer in setting and reaching our goals. And success is with us!
I'll be sharing the Cycle of Experience with you soon. It will help you get a better grasp as how you experience feelings and thoughts in your daily living. You will be able to identify where you might be getting stuck in the process. Understanding the cycle and how you experience each step will help you move forward in achieving your dreams. After all, knowledge is power, but putting it into action is success!
