All right, welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. And I'm excited to talk to you today about unlocking the power within and taking control of your emotions. We're going to talk today a little bit about why emotions, I believe, are the key to really creating a powerful life and also how emotions don't come from the outside. They come from the inside and how you can set up a value structure and a blueprint in your life to really get the emotions that you want. Later in the week, we're going to talk a little bit about emotional mastery. But before we do, if this is your first time listening to The Daily Mastermind, I encourage you to like and subscribe. The reason I created The Daily Mastermind is, like I said, it's designed to help you to have something consistent in your life every day to inspire and motivate you to live your best life. and really unleash the power that I believe you have inside you. And so one of those topics, and on Mondays I like to talk about prosperity principles and things that you can carry throughout the week, but one of those topics is emotions. If you think back over the last, oh, maybe even just this last week, if you think about how many times you've experienced emotions, maybe it's the ups and downs of your job or your relationships, maybe it's the highs and lows of, you know, happiness or depression. You might be dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety. But at the end of the day, not only do we have to deal with emotions, but I believe emotions are something that you have to truly proactively build into your plan for your life. And Robert Stubberg, who, as many of you know, is one of my mentors, was an individual that really helped me to, you know, grasp this idea of and structure a blueprint around my emotions. He's got a program called Creating Your Ultimate Destiny, and this is kind of in his chapter eight of that book. But he likes to talk quite a bit about, or he kind of helped me to kind of get the mindset around emotions. And what you have to do is you have to start by understanding what it is you really want in life. So let me ask you, what is it that you want in your life right now? How's your life going for you? Are you experiencing the things you want to experience? and what is it you're looking for? See, when I ask that question, a lot of people say, you know, I want to have success in my career, my finances, my money, meaningful relationships, make a million dollars, you know, travel the world, whatever it is. And I think these things may appear on the surface to be something that you want, but what you start to realize soon enough is that your success, your happiness, your fulfillment, what it is you're actually wanting to accomplish in your life and get, it doesn't come from the external things and rewards that we crave. It's actually the emotions that these rewards get us. So the sooner you learn to realize that it's not a million dollars or a perfect relationship you're looking for, but it's the happiness, the love, the fulfillment that you want from those things, the sooner you discover that, the sooner you'll be more proactive in putting a blueprint together for your life to create your best life. See, those things that you think you want are just a part of what you think will get you there. And what you realize and what you learn to realize is that those emotions that you're seeking from those things are things you can have right now. Emotions are things you can have right now. And so I'm not talking about just how to deal with emotions right now. What I'm talking about is how you can use emotions to create a blueprint in your life that you going to love a life that is the life you were meant to live And the key and the secret here is to learn how to create emotional switches In other words our emotions aren't externally activated. They're internally put together and switched, and we have control over that. In other words, we have grown to think that happiness, joy, fear, sadness, depression, whatever it is, are all triggered by things that happen in our life. But as Michael Singer will talk about, when you realize that you are not your emotions, you are the person experiencing your emotions, you can step back into that seat of consciousness and you can learn to sort of flip the switches on your emotions. Now, of course, you're going to deal with things that happen. You're going to feel, you know, sadness, joy, happiness, depression, anxiety, stress, you'll feel those things. But what you start to realize is that you are the person experiencing those, but you also have the inherent ability to experience those things by choice. And Robert talks about this being a very powerful secret. In other words, you need to learn to give yourself permission to choose the emotions that you want to experience in your life, like joy or love or experience of, you know, positive things. And you can choose to experience less of the things you don't enjoy, like depression and stress and anxiety. And I'm going to talk to you about how you can do that in a little bit of a framework. But what you need to realize is that you have the incredible ability to experience these emotions right now. You don't need to wait till you earn a million dollars. You don't need to wait until you create that relationship or find that relationship. Tony Robbins does a great example of this in his events. He'll have, you know, thousands of people close their eyes and he'll, you know, put up the music, cue up the music, dim the lights. And he'll say, for example, think of one of the most powerful experiences of joy that you've had in your life. Just imagine that you're there. Maybe it's the birth of a child, a wedding, a happy memory. Just put yourself back in that experience and feel and hear and sense what was happening when you experienced that joy. And what will happen is you'll realize that you can experience and feel that way right now because the mind doesn't know the difference between the actual event or what you're experiencing in your mind. I mean, let's be honest. Everything you have externally only happens inside, in your head, in your mind, right? So you can experience positive emotions, the ones you want right now. And if money and a relationship and love and all these things are ultimately things you want to experience love and happiness, then you can experience those right now. Once you understand that, then you can go to the next point, which is that life is about, well, let me put it this way. Life is not about achieving your happiness. It's about happily achieving. What do I mean by that? Well, we've been taught to believe that happiness comes from when we achieve our goals. But the truth is, you know, happiness will actually help you achieve your goals. You have to learn to start practicing the art of feeling fulfilled while you're achieving your goals, happily achieving. Rather than my goals are going to get me what I want and the feelings I want, it's more empowering and you're going to find more motivating for you to tap into the idea that you can experience happiness while you're hitting your goals. And the crazy thing here, what I've learned is the irony is that you actually attract more opportunities and it's more successful for you to be happily achieving. And you actually hit your goals even better because you're at a different energetic level and happiness will carry you through the path rather than seeking this thing that you can it like trying to pick up water just trying to grab something that you number one have the ability to experience now but number two you need to experience now in order to be more successful. So let's talk about a little bit of a framework that I've learned over my life and through mentoring. And it's the idea of the role of values in our life. Values are the emotional states that we choose to emphasize and prioritize. They shape our personality and influence everything we do. They're the emotions that you choose to prioritize. Surprisingly, even the negative emotions like depression or anger or stress can become values if they take center stage in your life. If you are prioritizing these negative thoughts, then you're valuing these negative thoughts because they're front and center in your life. That's not to say, I'm not saying that people don't struggle with depression and stress and anxiety, but sometimes we reactively spend our focus on these things. So by redefining our value systems, choosing the emotions that we want to prioritize, we can then define the conditions in our life that bring forth those emotions. We actually empower ourselves to live a more powerful life. And so what I'm talking about is proactively setting a list of values and emotions that we want to experience and then defining the conditions. Now, what do I mean about that? Let's talk about redefining the conditions for your emotions. Well, how do you create a condition that facilitates you experience an emotion you want to embrace versus conditions that are outside your control. Because remember, we're talking about being proactive. Well, here's an example. So you might say, I am positive and I have happiness when I achieve my goals or when I feel loved or when I experience things in my life unexpectedly. Or you may say, I experience negative emotions like depression, for example, you know, I get depressed when someone says something mean to me or when things don't work out my way or when someone breaks a promise or I I'm struggling financially and stressed, I get depressed. All of those scenarios I just gave you, all of those conditions are outside your control. You're talking about I experienced the emotions in my life when all these things around me happen. The key, and I want you to listen real closely here. The key to creating a value system that will drive a blueprint to your best life is to make conditions that you want to experience easy to meet and conditions for values you don't want to experience difficult to meet. So what do I mean by that? Well, you can say rather than I'm happy when all these things outside of me happen, you could say I'm happy when I wake up early because I know it's going to get my day started. Or I'm happy when I recognize and I'm grateful for all the things that I have in my life. Or I'm happy when I accomplish simple tasks that I have within my control. Or I'm happy when I connect with people I care about. Those are conditions that are super easy for you to do because they're inside your control. The opposite occurs, let's say, for conditions you don't want to experience. Let's say instead of being depressed when all these things are happening to you, you could say, I'm only depressed when I've exhausted all of the options that I have for figuring things out and asking for help. And only after nothing positive has ever happened from anything that I've done in this situation. And that makes it very difficult to feel those negative emotions because you know that you're proactive about trying to identify where the situations are You may say you know I only get angry when I don step back and analyze the situation I preview the situation in an unfiltered approach to make sure it's not personal. And so when you set these conditions that are very difficult to overcome for values you don't want, and you make conditions very easy for things you do want, what's going to happen is you're going to shift the emotions in your life. Now, I'm not talking about clinical depression or things like that, okay? I'm talking about prioritizing positive emotions, and it will change your focus of what you have because prioritizing these emotions like love, gratitude, peace, and deprioritizing the ones that you may be prioritizing right now, like stress and anxiety and the grind, those are the things that are going to help you to start to create a blueprint and a value system for creating your best life. So what I want you to do this week is I want you to begin by evaluating your current value system and identifying the values, positive and negative, the values that you want to embrace and move forward with and determine the conditions for experiencing these more in your life. Create some very simple conditions so you can experience some more. And I also want you to identify the values you do not want to have in your life, the emotions you do not want to have in your life. And I want you to take a minute and clearly define conditions that will make it almost impossible for you to experience those. Because even if you do have a horrible experience in your life, if you can put a condition in place that says, I will still only experience that if this and this and this and this and this and this has already happened, then it'll make it more difficult. And at a minimum, it's going to help you to be more proactive. So I want you to remember that this message I'm trying to get to you here today is that emotions aren't circumstances that happen to us. They're experiences that we are permitting ourselves to feel. And by understanding our emotions and redefining our value systems around them, we get to build a life of fulfillment and success that we are in control of and that we can embrace through our path. And I encourage you to really embrace the power of your emotions and your values when you're creating your life. That's the thing that, so I want to just challenge you, list the top five values that you're looking for and the top five you want to avoid, try to create those conditions. And let's see how that affects the life that you're creating. And let me know how that goes for you. Hit me up on the Daily Mastermind on Facebook, Instagram, or you can always email me.
