Article
It Takes an Ocean of
Emotion
Helaine Iris
"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've
always gotten." Tony Robbins
Stop for a moment and think about what type of energy is
driving you to put another day into your business. Would you
say your motivation's coming from a painful thought - "I
better make this sale so I can make payroll", or based a
pleasurable thought, "I can't wait to satisfy my next
customer. Be honest with yourself.
Think about a time in your life when you have been
profoundly moved. Was it a personal experience, or a global
happening? Remember when the Berlin wall came down, or, the
first photographs of earth from space? Have you ever been at a
birth? When I witnessed human birth for the first time it took
me days to get my feet back on the ground. What gets stirred
in you when you are deeply moved or inspired by the awesome
penetration of life into your awareness is emotion.
Emotion is fuel. Powerful fuel. Anyone inhabiting a human
body knows this. The range and nuance of human emotion is
paradoxically both vast yet quite finite. I think all emotion
can be boiled down into two essential categories - pleasure or
pain. And depending on what's driving you, you either head
toward or away from what you want.
Painful emotions are real, and have an enormous impact on
both the quality of your life in the present and your ability
to take action and create the life you want. A memory of
rejection for example may continually impact your ability to
step forward with confidence. All painful emotions come from
the past and are usually unconscious, influencing the way you
think, feel and act. Ugh.
Pleasurable emotions on the other hand are great! There's
no need to analyze why or where they come from. Pleasurable
emotion is what gives birth to your inspiration and empowers
you to move forward, take action and see possibility. Falling
in love, witnessing triumph over desperate odds - do you
remember the photograph of the Chinese student stopping a tank
in Tiananmen Square? We've all experienced the effect that
positive emotion offers bringing with it the power to move
mountains.
When you get right down to it its emotion, all emotion that
acts as the primary driver of your entire experience. It
ultimately determines your ability to take action and succeed
or stay stuck where you don't want to be. But here is the real
key.
You have a choice. If you want to move forward, be
successful, achieve greatness, or simply live fully in each
moment, you must learn to master and use your emotion to your
advantage. Tap into a memory that produces strong positive
emotion, and you will connect with the energy of possibility.
Learn to attune to your inner cues and catch yourself when you
are being ruled by painful emotion. Make it a habit to ask
yourself throughout your day, what's driving me right now?
Pleasure or pain? Use the vast ocean of emotion to fuel your
life in the direction of your dreams.
It's YOUR life...imagine the possibilities!

Suggested Reading
I have to admit...I'm not reading much this summer. I've
been spending the bulk of my free summer time gardening and
hanging out with my new best friends...horses. As you may
know, we recently built and moved into our new house. Seems I
live next door to a horse breeding farm, and some pretty
wonderful neighbors (the people are pretty great too!
Click here to meet my new friends at Shooting Star Farm.

good films. Here is a list of my favorites so far this year:
