Think of your mind, your emotions and your spirit as the ultimate garden. The way to ensure a bountiful, nourishing harvest is to plant seeds like love, warmth and appreciation — instead of seeds of disappointment, anger and fear.
Here are 10 emotional seeds to plant in your garden now. Use them to bring fulfillment and abundance to your life, and as an antidote to negative emotions.
Gratitude
Gratitude is the single greatest power to change your life. Spiritual leaders and philosophers across the world credit a happier life to it. Deepak Chopra describes gratitude as an “immensely powerful force that we can use to expand our happiness, create loving relationships, and even improve our health.” As Tony says, “When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.”
Hunger
In a recent LinkedIn article Tony addressed the emotion most essential to success: “If someone asks me, “Tony what is the single most valuable secret to success in life? How do I live life on my terms and have choices, and become the best in my field?” I’d tell them that every great leader I’ve ever had the privilege to work with – whether they are a politician an athlete, a musician or a business savant – got there using one force above all other. And that’s hunger.” If you are going to create lasting value in the world, you must have the determination to make change happen.
Passion
Passion is a force that awakens you. Passion blows the lid off of your imagination, your capability and your drive. It shakes your mind free from limiting beliefs and breaks your old patterns of thinking. Passion is what gives you a sense of purpose. Excitement and passion can add “juice” to just about anything. To paraphrase Benjamin Disraeli, “man is only truly great when he acts from passion.”
