Emotional truth is something which is so much lacking in our world. It is very simple and has its origins in childhood innocence. When it comes from this pure
expression, it is immensely powerful.

NEGATIVE EMOTIONS

Negative emotions are main cause of unhappiness, underachievement and failure in life. At their worst, negative emotions adversely affect our physical
and mental health. If they are the cause, then the effects can be seen in ruined relationships destroyed careers and wretched lives. They are harmful to
you and if allowed to thrive, will obstruct your path to happiness.

Nothing is more important than the elimination of your negative emotions. Peace of mind can only exist in the absence of negative emotions. You can’t
be negative and at peace at the same time, the two conflict.

The deeper my studies into this area took me the more I was surprised to discover that most of the problems that I have experienced in life had their origins in
negative emotions of one kind or another. It became clear if I could find a way to eliminate negative emotions, my life could be wonderful.

I also recognised that by failing to eliminate my negative emotions, I would prejudice all my efforts and kill most of the joy and pleasure from anything I
managed to accomplish. I have to confess that destructive emotions have been responsible for more grief and pain than I care to admit.

Negative emotions are completely unnecessary and unnatural to us. They serve no useful purpose, only destructive ones. They are the major cause for men
and women to fail to grow and evolve. The good news is that you do not have to tolerate them at all, if you consciously choose to get rid of them.

Until I started to investigate this subject, I had always assumed that negative emotions were normal responses. Partly from parental conditioning I suppose, I
thought that they were a part of human nature, to be accepted as inevitable, after all mom and dad had said it was natural, and moms and dads are always right
aren’t they?

Consider this. Have you ever seen a negative baby? Every negative emotion that we acquire as adults, we had to learn, starting in childhood, through a process
of conditioning, programming, imitation, practice, repetition and reinforcement. Since negative emotions are learned, like most things, they can be unlearned,
and you can wipe them out of your life like a mud stain from a clean floor.

Don’t worry if you have suffered with negative emotions for a long time. Suspend your disbelief and resistance to the idea that they can be eliminated, they
can. Whatever you choose to believe, with feeling, becomes your reality. If you continue to believe that negative emotions are helpful to you, then they will
remain a part of your life. However, you will know in your heart that the negative emotions you have experienced serve no useful purpose. Accepting this is
the first step to getting rid of them.
