Until You Feel This Emotion, You'll Get NOWHERE...

Did you know... that I can predict how 2010 will turn out for you by asking you one single question?  That question is this:

"When you think about your life, about what you want to change and about your resolutions to make those changes, what emotion dominates your thoughts?"

Answer me that and I'll predict YOUR success this year with as much certainty as the rising sun.

So go ahead and ask yourself that question.  Take a moment and REALLY DO IT [Stop reading here until you've done that]

Now what was that emotion?  Was it a "wouldn't it be nice if I could do X" kind of emotion?  Was it a sense of hopelessness, of "here we go again" and "I know this won't work"?  Or was it something else?  Was it, just perhaps, that ONE emotion you absolutely MUST have if you want to change?

THE ONE EMOTION YOU REALLY NEED:

So what emotion do you really need if you want to make real changes in your life?

You're probably waiting for me to say, "love"  or "gratitude" or "forgiveness".  Well, you're in for a shock then...

You need to get angry.  That's right, really ANGRY.  Angry about the way your health challenges are running your life, angry about your financial dilemmas, angry about that job you can't wait to quit, angry about the way your key relationships are going or angry about whatever you need to change in your life!

Because until you're REALLY angry, you won't get fed up with the status quo, and until you get angry enough to HATE the status quo, you won't find within yourself the unstoppable DETERMINATION to CHANGE your life.

Unless you have the emotional core of relentless determination to change things, to build the health, finances, relationships or spiritual life you really want, it just won't happen.  Sure, you'll try out a couple of new things, read a book here and there and maybe go to the gym from January to early March to "get in shape".  If you don't have that "violent" determination within you, though, you'll be back to square one within 3 months - guaranteed. 

The one defining trait of people who step up to the plate and change their lives and teach others to do the same is their willingness to stop at nothing to see their vision through.

So if you're really FED UP with the way things are going for you, if you're beginning to feel a BURNING RESOLVE welling up within you, leave a comment below and tell me what you're going to do about it.  That's right.  Put it out there for everyone.  Commit to taking action today.

Remember this... although you can be destroyed, you can NEVER be defeated if you have this resolve.  All who attain this level of internal resolve in their lives eventually WIN.  Without exception. 

Have you got that determined resolve yet?  If you do, please share it below, and not just for your sake; for everyone's.
