Emotions;
Emotions could be either sad (Negative) or happy (Positive).
Your emotions are magnetic forces that have the power to repel, or attract, positive or negative results into your life. Negative emotions produce negative outcomes while positive emotions produce positive and successful outcomes. To achieve continued success, you have to understand how to leverage on the principles of emotional success because principles never change.
What you do not have the power to attract, you do not have the power to retain, Knowing the right principles will give you the capacity to continue to attract the level of success you want’ S. Adeyemi
In other words, when your success happens by accident and you have no clue how you achieved this success, you are more likely to loose it as you will not know how to retain it. The secret of achieving and retaining success is to understand how to align your emotions with the principles that guarantee success. It is said that “Knowledge is power” implying that lack of knowledge can be detrimental. The scripture puts it this way ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge’ Hosea 4:6
Your success or failure in most cases, is dependent on the action preceded by your emotion; Meaning, your emotional disposition will determine your actions.
For instance, when you have positive emotions or a cheerful disposition, you are healthier, innately stronger and more efficient because you tend to make better decisions ‘Joy does good like medicine, but sorrow dries up the bones’ Proverbs 17:22
Whereas, the opposite is the case when you predominantly nurture negative emotions; such as, sadness, bitterness, sorrow etc. You are snappy, grouchy, angry, depressed etc – This takes a toll on your mental wellbeing and will inevitably affect your health and level of productivity. Often times, the occurrences in your life are mostly a direct results of your thoughts / emotions and the actions that follow.
