No matter how intelligent you are, there is another way to predetermine your success and happiness you are experiencing in life.
No matter just how gifted you are, there is something else which will predetermine the happiness and success you are experiencing in life.
Actually, there is one main thing that will override everything else in life, and this one thing will predetermine what you can expect for all outcomes in your life.
You may be asking what that one thing is. It is the most important thing a person can work on to improve their life. It is the Emotional Quotient-EQ.
Around twenty years ago, there was some Social Scientist who were researching the elements that some people used to become more successful than others. While researchers looked at many different aspects of successful individuals, ultimately they began with Intelligent Quotients (IQs). It did not take long before these scientists found individuals with very low IQs, who were not only successful financially, as well as with their relationships, but the entire chart in regards to happiness. It became obvious that IQs were not a predetermining factor. Nor were the many other factors they studied and compared in successful individuals.
As time passed, these scientists made the discovery and named what they believed to be essential for success and happiness-the Emotional Quotient (EQ).
How a person handles emotions on a regular basis is the EQ. The improved way a person handles emotions equaled a better life that person possesses. The converse is true as well.
I made a discovery a few years ago called The Mental Codes. This discover has helped people understand more about the relationship between the emotions they experience and the effect they have on life.
I have mentioned many times in the past that people are addicted to their negative emotions. They actually crave negative emotions and will reinforce them in many ways. i.e. They watch the news, focus on negative events in life, talk negatively about people and things, etc.
What I have suggested in past articles is that you begin paying attention to your inner thoughts throughout the day. Notice if your inner thinking is in line with the life you desire. Or, perhaps your regular thoughts are counter productive to what you want.
Let’s take a journey today into your mind. I would help you discover one of the most limiting factors with your thinking. Now that you have identified some of your Mental Codes that are keeping you stuck in life. Ask yourself one simple but powerful question.
Why do you want to feel that way?
I know that initially you may declare “I do not want to feel this way, but I just can’t help it.” However, the truth is we do have control over our thinking. This is the only thing we can control. Our thoughts create our emotions. Our emotions create our actions and our actions create our habits. So, you see how our habits (both good and bad) determine our success or failure. As a matter of fact, what we choose to think about will determine the rest of your life. So now you can see why it is important to control what we think about most of the time.
Thank goodness you can ask yourself the question above. You can give yourself an honest answer and begin upgrading your life to the next level. Each person wants to feel the way they do for some reason. Discovering the reason behind why you want to feel this way is the beginning step in accelerating your life into greater success.
As you start changing the thoughts you’re allowing yourself to think (and not think), you will start to feel different emotionally. When you change your emotions, you change your life.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael J. Duckett
