This nasty culprit is able to make you succeed or fail. Too often, for most people, it’s the cause of failure. The worst part is that this sneaky culprit works silently when you’re not looking.

Have you ever suddenly you felt bad but had no physical illness? This nasty culprit could be the problem.

Let me reveal it now…

The sneaky culprit is negative emotion.

In fact, in the book The Emotional Brain by Joseph LeDoux, it says
“The fact that emotions… are activated automatically (without any conscious effort) means that their presence in the mind and their influence on thoughts and behavior are not questioned”

So you see.. your emotions are created UNCONSCIOUSLY. When you become aware of negative emotions, usually, you’re already feeling the pain.

Here are 3 reasons why you need to monitor your emotions:
1. Emotion can stop you from doing what it takes to achieve success
Because emotions can be generated unconsciously you’re left feeling ashamed and frustrated when you fail to act. That’s why it’s important that you learn to disarm and decode negative emotions (more on that later).

2. Emotion impacts how well you perform activities
If you’re feeling the emotions of excitement and happiness then you’re likely to do a much better job. If you’re feeling sad and depressed everything you do will be negatively impacted.

3. Emotion can connect you to the subconscious mind so you’re able to leap ahead and achieve success.
Here’s what Napoleon Hill said in Think And Grow Rich:
“The mixing, or blending, of these three emotions has the effect of opening a direct line of communication between the finite, thinking mind of man, and Infinite Intelligence. ”

Here’s what he said:

“THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND consists of a field of consciousness, in which every impulse of thought that reaches the objective mind through any of the five senses, is classified and recorded, and from which thoughts may be recalled or withdrawn as letters may be taken from a filing cabinet. ”

If you want an example of how a billionaire uses his [tag-tech]subconscious[/tag] then listen to this story…

In Michael Jordon’s book “Driven from Within”, he recalls a conversation with billionaire investor Warren Buffet.

Michael asked “What do you think about when make decisions? What ’s your thought process?”.

Buffet replied: “Not much. Whatever my gut tells me, that’s what I do”.

Michael later said, “It’s still amazing to me that given the decisions Warren Buffett makes, and the money that transfers with those decisions, that he still goes with his gut “.

Michael Jordon also said that he too listens to his gut.

The question is…do you listen to your gut?

When did you last check your gut before making a decision?

If it’s been too long or you haven’t used it at all then begin today.

If this works for a billionaire like Warren Buffet and a basketball genius like Michael Jordon then it can work for you.

The 2nd Step to Riches is FAITH.

It’s also one of the most important keys to success… here’s why.

Any time you try to achieve something great, invariably you face great obstacles.

Without the 2nd step to riches those obstacles can stop you.

But don’t take my word for it.

Listen to this quote from Tom Monaghan the CEO and Found of Domino’s Pizza:

I was hit by a long series of difficulties. Each one seemed like a knockout
blow. But I was able to get off the floor every time and come back stronger
than ever. That’s the power of faith. I use it every day.

Napoleon Hill said “When faith is blended with thought the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration and translates it into its spiritual equivalent.”

Here are 2 ways to build faith

- Repetition of affirmation of orders to the subconscious mind builds faith.
- All thoughts emotionalized and mixed with faith begin immediately to translate into reality.

It’s also the name of a movie that’s coming out. It includes top actors Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.

I’ve heard really good things about the movie. But let me ask you, do you have a bucket list?

Of course, in Napoleon Hill’s book Think And Grow Rich the first step to riches is desire. You can increase desire by knowing exactly what you want. And that’s where a bucket list kicks in. It lets you cut through the fluff by asking a dead-serious question. What do you want to accomplish before you die?

But don’t let the weight of that question drag you down because the best bucket lists are filled with fun, loving and
exciting things.

So what will be on your bucket list? 2 nights in Trump Towers? African Safari? Romantic night in Venice Italy with your soul mate?

What will give you that extra spark? When you think of it. Add it to your list!

Ok. my rich friend, I have to add a few things to my bucket list. I’ll talk to you later.

As promised last week, I’ve created a mini-poster for you. Because I really appreciate you (after all you’re reading my crazy ramblings), I created 2 mini-posters. They basically say the same thing but they’re formatted differently.

You can select the one that inspires you the most.

These mini-posters are based on the Power of Desperation article I did earlier. Click on the image to get the PDF file. They are available for next 5-7 days.

Achieving more in less time can be easy as 1,2, 3.

Win your RACE to success with this mini-poster

My rich friend, while pulling together these posters, I remembered so many times when I used the Power of Desperation.

I used it with my first big joint venture. I had more orders than I could imagine. Because I was doing everything myself, I was drowning in boxes and CDs. Then my computer broke down(it’s tough to get to the internet without a computer YIKES! ). It was crazy but the power of desperation pulled me through it.

I also got into a weight loss competition with a guy 15 years younger than me. My ego became a vicious bulldog that refused to let me eat and forced me to workout like a madman. It was INSANE. I’ll tell you about that later

What about you? Have you ever used the power of desperation? Let me know I’d love to hear about it.

If you have any feedback on the mini-posters I’d love to hear that also. Just leave a reply for me below:

Desire is the cornerstone of success.

It is the starting point of all achievement, be it personal, professional, political,
financial, or anything imaginable.

If desire is lacking, then regardless of what other steps might be taken on the
path to riches, the results will also be lacking.

It only takes a minor amount of weak desire to infect, pollute, and undermine achievement.

Remember: a small amount of fire leads to a small amount of heat . Yet , on the
other hand: a blazing inferno is virtually unstoppable.

Your first step is clear and straightforward: work yourself into a white heat of desire!

“Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made
from something they have deep inside them - a DESIRE, a
dream, a vision.”
- Muhammad Ali

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being a burning desire and 1 being no desire at all) what is your level of desire?

The most powerful example he gave was his own personal struggle to help his son hear (which was no small effort since his son was born without ears).

You’ve probably read the story so I won’t go into it but lets uncover Napoleon Hill’s process because it reveals how you can handle your life’s greatest challenges.

First, a doctor said his son was born with no ears and he’d be a deaf mute all his life.

Immediately after hearing that news, here’s what Napoleon Hill thought:

“I challenged the doctor’s opinion. … I, too, reached a DECISION, and rendered an opinion, but I expressed the opinion silently, in the secrecy of my own heart.”

Let me ask you. How do you respond to heartbreaking news? Do you give up your life to the ‘experts’? Or do you make your own DECISION (7th Step Towards Riches)?

In truth, it’s never easy deal with heartbreaking news but time and time again the impact of that news depends on your mindset and your ability to trust yourself.

Napoleon Hill is not alone in his approach.

Dr. Bernie Siegel in his book Love, Medicine and Miracles talks about cancer patients whose grapefruit sized tumors “melted away like snowballs on a hot stove”. Much of it having to do with the patients DECISION on how to respond to the expert doctors.

They refused to accept limitations being thrown at them. How do you respond to limitations being thrown at you?

Consider the below words from Napoleon Hill

“Nature could send me a child without ears, but Nature could not induce
me to accept the REALITY of the affliction. ” Napoleon Hill

So don’t let REALITY get in the way of what you truly desire.

How badly do you want to succeed?

Do you want it badly enough to ignore the reality of any obstacles you face?

How can you ignore reality? Well, Napoleon Hill revealed that too.

But this time he draws from the genius of Emerson.

Emerson Said:
“The whole course of things goes to teach us faith. We need only obey. There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening, we shall hear the right word.”

FOCUS on the first line of that quote because it tells you how to free yourself from the bondage of ‘reality’.

The answer is faith.

Let me summarize.

1. Know what you DESIRE
2. DECIDE to reject obstacles and the reality of the moment
3. Take it as a lesson in FAITH

Here are a couple more Napoleon Hill quotes that reveal the steps to use:
4. “Every day I renewed the pledge I had made to myself” ( never stop trying)
5. “What could I do about it? Somehow I would find a way”

NOTE: In this article we’ve talked about how to handle the toughest news and limitations. Fortunately, you can use the same the process for handling any limitations… including self-imposed limitations.

I used to think writing was too hard and that I wasn’t good enough to do it. But as you can tell from this blog that self-imposed limitation is melting away(I still wrestle with it sometimes).

I challenge you to identify and conquer any limitations. Use the 5 steps. And if you ever meet with unfortunate news remember all the options you have and trust in your own power.

DECIDE that your life it too important to waste on small things.

Well, my rich friend, that’s it for this post.
