All Things Are Available To you
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too... Whatever you can do.., begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.
Excerpt taken from the book Your Destiny Switch, by Peggy McColl
To achieve your destiny, you have to be able to feel certain positive emotions at a high level. You might think that you don’t have the capacity to experience particular emotions, but I can assure you that you do. Inside you lies a multitude of emotions—you just have to access them, and there are several ways to do so. As the old sayings go, “Misery loves company” and “Laughter is infectious.” The people we surround ourselves with can affect our emotions, and vice versa. When cyclist Lance Armstrong was facing a dire diagnosis of cancer, he knew that he had to find a physician who believed in his ability to be healed. To fight such a challenging battle, he felt that he needed to draw upon the faith and determination of his doctor, as well as his own.
It’s good to be aware of whether the people you spend time with help you lift your mood or make it more difficult for you to stay positive—in other words, choose your companions carefully. Spending a large amount of time around those who always see the negative side of life and tell you about every depressing story they heard on the news may not just affect you in the moment . . . it may impact you overall. You’ll start to feel your energy dragging and your mind creating thoughts such as What’s the point? and I’m fooling myself. There’s no way I can do this. If you don’t consciously work at balancing your emotions around such people, your joyfulness, creativity, determination, and other positive emotions will diminish; and your feelings of hopelessness and melancholy will increase.
Then, too, when you’re around people who are gossipy and unkind, you’re likely to find yourself giving in to more judgmental, smug, and even cruel emotions. Even participating in mean-spirited gossip about celebrities isn’t harmless. It can increase your feelings of unkindness and decrease those of sympathy—and that may carry over to how you feel about, and treat, the people in your life.
On the other hand, making a deliberate decision to spend more time around those who do help you feel positive can make a big difference in your mood. If you’re surrounded by individuals who lack compassion and empathy, but you want to feel compassionate and empathetic more often and more intensely, seek out people who experience those emotions regularly.
