I’m adding a second post today. It’s about a book that anyone interested in becoming a career and life success will find interesting. Today’s post on self confidence is right below this one. Peggy McColl is a friend of mine. She has written a great book called Your Destiny Switch: Master Your Key Emotions and Attract the Life of Your Dreams. I like Peggy, and I like this book. It is based on four epiphanies Peggy has had in her growth. - You cannot escape from a prison unless you know you are in one. Negative emotions are a prison. Managing them is the key that unlocks the door.
- Knowledge alone is not enough. It must be supplemented with deep understanding and practical application. Positive thoughts only have the power to change your life when they’re fueled by positive emotions. Your heart has to truly believe that you can form your own destiny, and you must actively create and turn up the volume on positive feelings in order to achieve the life of your dreams.
- It only takes a little bit of poison to kill. Never underestimate the destructive power of negative emotions. Remember that the antidote to the poison of negativity is positive emotions.
- To have it all, you have to be willing to give it all up. If you feel deserving of it, you can create it; and if you created it once, you can do so again using the power of your positive emotions. There is no need to become attached to situations. No matter what changes in your life, the universe will respond to the call of positive emotions and bring you what you need and desire…in its own time and in its own way.
In Part I of the book, Peggy explains the power of emotions – positive and negative. In Part II, she helps the reader understand the interaction between positive and negative emotions. In Part III, she delves into the Destiny Switch concept more completely, and provides the reader with “Switching Strategies” to get out of negative emotions quickly. In Part IV, Peggy introduces the Destiny Planner – a tool to help the reader stay on track by using the Destiny Switch. The Destiny Switch is a great book for anyone wanting to turn negative emotions into positive ones, and build a happy, healthy successful life. However, there’s more. Peggy has an abundance mentality. Therefore, she has partnered with several best selling authors and thought leaders in the personal growth field (me included) to provide the people who buy her book a wealth of personal growth and success information. If you buy the book tomorrow, May 1, you will receive hundreds of dollars worth of free information that will help you grow and prosper.
