DID YOU KNOW YOU HAD 4 CYLINDERS? [Part II]
by: Mark Thompson

Truth 1: You are a creation.
Truth 2: You are created to be the best you can be.
Truth 3: Most of us are not too sure how that can be
accomplished given our potential.

Question: Do you want to accomplish the most you can?
Check one:  [  ] YES   [  ] NO

In order to be anything and everything you want in this
life, you must first realize that you, as a creation, are
created to run on 4 cylinders.

As the next few issues come to you, look for what we were
created with – what I’m referring to as our “cylinders”. 

Fill in the blanks with each issue.
Cylinder 1 = Intellectual
Cylinder 2 = Emotional
Cylinder 3 =
Cylinder 4 =


Excitement.
Worry.
Happiness.
Anger.
Sadness.
Dread.
Embarrassment.

These are all emotions and you can probably think of a
boatload more. You are given these emotions as part of
your make-up. There's nothing wrong or right about
these feelings. In and of themselves they are just
emotions.

Don't let anyone tell you, you should or shouldn't feel
a certain way.

But take a look around you and evaluate the
appropriateness of your actions based on how you feel.
Your emotions are not necessarily right or wrong, but
the actions that are generated may be questionable.

Did you know that by guiding your emotional response to
everyday situations you can directly affect your
physical and psychological health?

It's true.

If you allow your daily circumstances to affect you
negatively and you consequently express yourself
negatively, your mindset will be negative. Therefore,
your physical body will produce negative results. It's
like unleashing a deadly poison inside your body.

Scientific studies have been performed which implied
that those who react to circumstances consistently in a
pessimistic fashion, literally shorten their existence,
as we know it, sometimes by years. Not to mention their
existence here on earth is not very fun.

So, why allow yourself to be held to that kind of life
anyway? Did you know also, that there is one thing in
this world over which you have 100% control? Are you
curious? Take a guess what that is. If you guessed
"your mind", congratulations!

You have complete and total control over your mind. You
can tell it how to think. You can control the way it
reacts to circumstances. If you are sick and tired of
being aggravated in traffic, guess what? You can
literally change that.

From now on, you will tell your brain that there are
people who do not need to have a driver's license, but
they will not ruin your day. You will just be aware
of them and avoid them as much as possible.

There are people who are chronically rude and
inconsiderate. You are aware of that and will not be
affected by it from now on. You just know you won't
allow yourself to be that way.

You see we are creatures of habit.
Our mind produces those habits. Emotions are part of
that make-up. You can program your emotions just like
you can program your daily activities.

Write down everything you can think of that makes you
sad, mad, upset, disgruntled, or any other negative
emotion. Now under that emotion and the reason you
might feel that way, rewrite that emotion and how you
will reprogram a different emotion for that situation.

This absolutely works. I've done it. I no longer get
upset in traffic. I no longer allow colleagues to rub
me the wrong way. I no longer see mechanical problems
with my vehicle as the end of the world. I no longer
allow deadly poison to be released inside my body.

Instead I choose to strengthen my emotions and mind by
living and loving life. I do that by accepting the
not-so-good with the abundance of blessings that I have
everyday.

Emotions are some of the most powerful action
generators that we'll ever be exposed to.

Emotions can persuade you to buy a car or a house.

Emotions can cause a break up or a marriage.

Emotions can build wealth or be the source of being
broke.

Emotions can lend compassion or distribute retribution.

Emotions can hinder your sense of logic.

It all depends on your focus and direction. If you
focus on programming your emotional reaction, you will
accomplish much more than you could ever imagine.

No it's not Pollyanna. I don't believe in "fake it till
you make" philosophies. But I do believe that we have
total control over our minds and emotional output. You
have to believe it if you want to achieve it, though.

It's a powerful tool to better your new,
top-performance 4 Cylinder existence.

Give it a try and let me know your successes.

Stay tuned for the other 2 cylinders of you. 

Until next, time keep looking and living forward.
