Dear Mark,

In order to live a successful life, you mention in your book, Success and Inner Strength, how the Circle of Five virtually sucks the life out of people struggling with that vicious cycle. My question is, while in the midst of those horrific emotions, how can you clearly find a way out to get on the path for successful living?

Addie,

You're right. The Circle of Five is a vicious cycle. This is similar to what a depressed person would feel but on a less extreme plain.

For someone who is in a rut, feeling like they're just spinning their wheels, this ebook (Success and Inner Strength) is perfect for getting traction in life.

Successful living is all about a life of purpose. Purpose is the key to success. Purpose is the key to inner strength. Purpose drives you to take a bite out of life and taste the juices that you were created for.

Without purpose, you sit on your couch wondering who will be kicked off the island or who will get the next date.

If that's your major purpose in life, then you may be in a rut and not even know it.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm all for entertainment. . . and I'm not pointing a finger at you, Addie, when I say "you". I'm using you in a general term to just get a point across.

So, please don't be offended.

But anyone who only lives for watching people eat certain unspeakable animal parts needs some help.

A lot of people just sit in this place emotionally and are content and comfortable living this way for the rest of their lives.

And that's fine.

But I don't believe you are like that since you asked such a telling question.

So back to the Circle of Five and living a life of Success and Inner Strength.

Not until you shatter the patter of the Circle of Five will you allow your life to explode with purpose and passion.

Not until you do this will you find yourself in a place that filled with pride and reward.

There are two things that have to take place before you destroy the Circle of Five. The first is emotional and the second is a decision.

The first thing that has to happen is you have to become emotionally sick and tired of where you are.

There's this great new book out called "Unstoppable Confidence".  Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Robert Allen, and Ron LeGrand have all endorsed it.  It's an underground bestseller with over 31,278 copies sold.

 

Not until you find yourself saying, "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!" or "I want something better for my life." will you come to the second place needed to claim the life you were created for.

Emotions are powerful. Emotions result in marriage. Emotions result in divorce. Emotions result in purchases. Emotions result in bankruptcy.
Emotions result in fights. Emotions result in making up. Emotions result in depression. Emotions result in driving your life to a whole new level that you never dreamed possible.

Understanding your emotional patterns a great way to get ready for accomplishing outstanding results.

Once you've realized that you are Sick and Tired of it, and you're not going to take anymore, your next step to smashing the Circle of Five is a decision.

This may be the hardest part. When you make that decision to stop the status quo, you're making a decision for change.

Change, by human nature, is hard. We are creatures of habit and we don't want like interruptions from our habits. But when they are self-imposed, we are more likely to follow through.

Here's the caveat, when you choose not to make a decision, you have made a decision. By not choosing to jack your life up to the next level, you're choosing to remain in the muck.
 

By choosing to jump to the next level, you have killed the cycle of redundant patterns that hold you back.

The question is, what decision will you make?

Hope that helps, Addie.

Sincerely,
- Mark
