What does the US need to reevaluate during its current phase of down time

Imagine this: you have a goal, the perfect strategy, resources, and helpful people around you to attain it--you even have luck! But what you DON'T have is a good feeling about achieving it. Are you likely to achieve your goal? Or will you, more likely, sabotage it?

Or imagine this: you have a goal, no strategy, no resources, no one around that can really help you right now-- and you look at your life and realize that you haven't ever been lucky. But you DO have absolute determination, and faith, and you feel really good about achieving your goal. Are you likely to achieve it? We know that people with nothing but faith achieve great things everyday. The answer is most definitely yes.

Emotion is not only absolutely crucial in obtaining our results, emotion is THE primary factor in whether or not we get what we want, and how fast we get it.

Think of your emotions like trains. You are at the station of Now, and you want to get some goal: There. You can choose any number of emotions to ride to your destination, from Self-doubt to complete Certainty, from Disappointment to Gratitude. No matter what train you board, you will go somewhere. And you must choose which train you'll board at every single station between Now and There.

The only question is: Where do you want to get to? And what is going to make your trip and arrival a pleasurable one for you?

My challenge to each of you is to choose the emotional train that will speed you comfortably to your desired destination. Choose based on what YOU REALLY WANT, even if what you really want is to wonder if you are on the right train (though I can't say your arrival There will be well received if you do).

Choose your emotional transportation, even if you don't think that you can (and check to make sure you are not riding Doubt or Skepticism, with conductors that try to lock you into sleeper cars). Perseverance makes for an exciting ride with assured arrival. Trust, Faith, and Certainty all make for a quick and comfortable trip. Awareness gives you the best view, and Gratitude assures your most welcome arrival
