Disgust And Resolve

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Disgust and resolve are two of the great emotions that lead to change.".... Jim Rohn

Being fed up always leads directly to growth and gives us energy to implement changes as they occur inside of a suddenly made up mind. And it's the measure of our determination that dictates the speed at which we travel. The more fed up... the heavier the foot... the faster the acceleration... and the easier the change. It's never effortless, but with the right mind-set it takes much less effort.

Some alterations are left undone for longer than is seemly; wearing things when they are hopelessly out of fashion or no longer fit like they ought to is a common human failing. Making excuses may stall the inevitable, but once awareness sets in there is no turning back. Getting it done isn't really a problem, it's the getting started that's difficult. Disgust of self or situation is about the most powerful human igniter and it's totally self-produced. Aren't we just the most magical of creatures?

Too often we either don't realize or simply forget there really is an up side of down; negative emotions can (and should) be utilized in the most positive ways possible. Try using them instead of letting them use you. Get good and fed up. Let it build then blow as is its nature, but choose wisely the direction of your flight. And as always.... think about it.... let it ride.... then YOU decide!!!!

  1. Amen sister. How validaing of one's emotions. Rather than guilt, we can embrace our feelings vs stuffing them inside to rot.

  2. Stuffing is for sausages, my friend. When people do that it causes illness of both body and mind. We spend so much time trying to NOT feel the bad stuff... which means that it can't ever be truly resolved. Validation is vital to peace and happiness. I love you Joan... thanks for commenting. A writer without readers is still a writer but not a very satisfied one.
