> Emotions are the most powerful forces inside us. Under the
> power of emotions, human beings can perform the most heroic
> (as well as barbaric) acts. To a great degree, civilization
> itself can be defined as the intelligent channeling of
> human emotion.   Emotions are fuel and the mind is the
> pilot, which together propel the ship of civilized
> progress.
>  
> Which emotions cause people to act? There are four basic
> ones; each, or a combination of several, can trigger the
> most incredible activity. The day that you allow these
> emotions to fuel your desire is the day you'll turn your
> life around.
>  
> 1) DISGUST
>  
> One does not usually equate the word "disgust" with
> positive action. And yet properly channeled, disgust can
> change a person's life. The person who feels disgusted has
> reached a point of no return. He or she is ready to throw
> down the gauntlet at life and say, "I've had it!" That's
> what I said after many humiliating experiences at age 25, I
> said. "I don't want to live like this anymore. I've had it
> with being broke. I've had it with being embarrassed, and
> I've had it with lying."
>  
> Yes, productive feelings of disgust come when a person
> says, "Enough is enough."
>  
> The "guy" has finally had it with mediocrity. He's had it
> with those awful sick feelings of fear, pain and
> humiliation. He then decides he is not going to live like
> this anymore." Look out! This could be the day that turns a
> life around.  Call it what you will, the "I've had it" day,
> the "never again" day, the "enough's enough" day. Whatever
> you call it, it's powerful!  There is nothing so life-
> changing as gut-wrenching disgust!
>  
> 2) DECISION
>  
> Most of us need to be pushed to the wall to make decisions.
> And once we reach this point, we have to deal with the
> conflicting emotions that come with making them. We have
> reached a fork in the road. Now this fork can be a two-
> prong, three-prong, or even a four-prong fork. No wonder
> that decision-making can create knots in stomachs, keep us
> awake in the middle of the night, or make us break out in a
> cold sweat.
>  
> Making life-changing decisions can be likened to internal
> civil war.  Conflicting armies of emotions, each with its
> own arsenal of reasons, battle each other for supremacy of
> our minds. And our resulting decisions, whether bold or
> timid, well thought out or impulsive, can either set the
> course of action or blind it.  I don't have much advice to
> give you about decision-making except this:
>  
> Whatever you do, don't camp at the fork in the road.
> Decide. It's far better to make a wrong decision than to
> not make one at all. Each of us must confront our emotional
> turmoil and sort out our feelings.
>  
> 3) DESIRE
>  
> How does one gain desire? I don't think I can answer this
> directly because there are many ways. But I do know two
> things about desire:
>  
> a.   It comes from the inside not the outside.
> b.   It can be triggered by outside forces.
>  
> Almost anything can trigger desire. It's a matter of timing
> as much as preparation.  It might be a song that tugs at
> the heart. It might be a memorable sermon. It might be a
> movie, a conversation with a friend, a confrontation with
> the enemy, or a bitter experience. Even a book or an
> article such as this one can trigger the inner mechanism
> that will make some people say, "I want it now!"
>  
> Therefore, while searching for your "hot button" of pure,
> raw desire, welcome into your life each positive
> experience. Don't erect a wall to protect you from
> experiencing life. The same wall that keeps out your
> disappointment also keeps out the sunlight of enriching
> experiences.  So let life touch you. The next touch could
> be the one that turns your life around.
>  
> 4) RESOLVE
>  
> Resolve says, "I will." These two words are among the most
> potent in the English language. I WILL. Benjamin Disraeli,
> the great British statesman, once said, "Nothing can resist
> a human will that will stake even its existence on the
> extent of its purpose." In other words, when someone
> resolves to "do or die," nothing can stop him.
>  
> The mountain climber says, "I will climb the mountain.
> They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's too
> steep, it's too rocky, it's too difficult. But it's my
> mountain. I will climb it. You'll soon see me waving from
> the top or you'll never see me, because unless I reach the
> peak, I'm not coming back." Who can argue with such
> resolve?
>  
> When confronted with such iron-will determination, I can
> see Time, Fate and Circumstance calling a hasty conference
> and deciding, "We might as well let him have his dream.
> He's said he's going to get there or die trying."
>  
> The best definition for "resolve" I've ever heard came from
> a schoolgirl in Foster City, California. As is my custom, I
> was lecturing about success to a group of bright kids at a
> junior high school. I asked, "Who can tell me what
> "resolve" means?" Several hands went up, and I did get some
> pretty good definitions.   But the last was the best. A shy
> girl from the back of the room got up and said with quiet
> intensity, "I think resolve means promising yourself you
> will never give up." That's it! That's the best definition
> I've ever heard: PROMISE YOURSELF YOU'LL NEVER GIVE UP.
>  
> Think about it! How long should a baby try to learn how to
> walk? How long would you give the average baby before you
> say, "That's it, you've had your chance"? You say that's
> crazy? Of course it is. Any mother would say, "My baby is
> going to keep trying until he learns how to walk!" No
> wonder everyone walks.
>  
> There is a vital lesson in this. Ask yourself, "How long am
> I going to work to make my dreams come true?" I suggest you
> answer, "As long as it takes."  That's what these four
> emotions are all about.
