Everything is Emotional

Everything you want in life you want simply because you crave the emotion of having it.

Understanding the emotional aspect tied to your decisions can help discover what motivates you and makes life worthwhile. Having an appreciation awakening towards gratitude can help you figure your desires out, as well.  

Your desires feel good when you think about them, right?  What you want makes you smile when you think it over. Whatever is easy to be appreciative of is something you crave or desire. If you have ever said, “I’ll be happy when ____________,” then that’s your desire. Those desires provoke action. Having a feeling of wanting a desire met will often lead to you doing certain things.

Thoughts turn into emotions and emotions turn into actions. This means you control the power of outcome. Good thinking leads to good living. Poor thinking leads to poor living.  You decide how you will feel and which emotions you will experience by what you think. Nothing external can change your mood. No thing and no one can cause you to be in a bad mood unless you allow it to happen. 

Karate master Bruce Lee said, “What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.” This is both good and bad. It’s wonderful if you are thinking about your unlimited blessings and are thankful. It is horrible if you are stuck in neutral or negativity and merely letting life happen. It doesn’t have to be this way.  

An intentional consideration of your thoughts will reveal how you create or avoid various outcomes. Your thoughts turn into choices. Having a sense of gratitude can give you better control of your thoughts. The abundant life can be experienced when you are thankful, even if all hell is breaking loose. 

Life does not have to be an emotional roller coaster of dips and turns and loops and free falls. Your day does not have to be full of drama. Simply decide what you want and go for it. There’s an abundance of peace and joy available at all times.
