The
creation of an extraordinary life takes resilience. The most desired
emotion people seek is happiness. Those who have emotional strength
achieve true happiness and lasting success, not as an event but as a
journey.
The
mentally tough understand that
emotions are the drivers of motivation,
and hold the awareness of how tough it can be to harness emotion.
Emotions can move us in the wrong direction when they are attached to
adrenaline, as emotions often are. For this reason, emotional strength
is a necessity for happiness and success. 1. Confidence.
Emotionally wealthy
people are sure of their personal value and do not feel the need to
audition for the acceptance and approval of others. They never have the
"pick me, pick me" attitude. The emotionally wealthy do not need
attention because they are fulfilled from within as a byproduct of their
achievements and unceasing hard work in all areas of life.
They understand to be magnificent is a great challenge that takes great effort.
2. Resilience.
The
emotionally wealthy have a deep inner strength. They are aware that as
they become more successful they will encounter a host of mean, jealous
and cruel people. The more motivated they are to change the world, the
more they seek to succeed, to make a difference in the lives of others
and reach their full potential, the more of these low-level haters will
surface.
Being their
own source of power, the emotionally wealthy are aware of these people
and adept and persistent in controlling their reactions to them. They do
not let those with destructive intentions deter their will.
3. Keep looking forward.
Emotionally
wealthy individuals do not make time for blame or criticism. They let
go of resentments because resentments hold them back. Staying resentful
keeps them stuck in situations that have passed, and therefore, staying
bitter is treated as a complete waste of energy.
If
someone else holds resentment against them and will not let go of the
grudge, they move on from these people. Emotionally wealthy people waste
no energy trying to prove themselves to someone unwilling to accept
it. Emotionally wealthy people look forward. They don't get bitter, they
get better.
4. Don't compromise themselves.
Emotionally wealthy individuals do
not compromise who they are or what they believe in for anyone. They do
what they do in life because they love doing It. They are not inclined
to slow down, change or stop being who they are for the naysayers or
couch critics who want them to be less.
They
are clear that it takes a small mind to criticize a brilliant one. The
emotionally wealthy stay clear of those who try to dim their shine. They
remain unwaveringly true to their larger purpose.
5. Faith.
Those
who love themselves understand who they are. They are not afraid to go
after what they want. They patiently work through fears and self-doubt.
These extraordinary people believe that all they do in life will be
demonstrated through their desired results.
These
exceptional individuals choose the strenuous life and do not fear the
ambitious journey or the deep commitment it takes to be happy and
successful. They take great pride in their struggles, as well as their
contributions.
The emotionally wealthy choose faith over fear.
6. Maturity.
For
the emotionally wealthy true mastery, lasting success and deep
happiness can only come through hard work, real sweat, real challenge
and through surviving real storms. They accept that life is difficult,
and because they embrace this truth, they are able to transcend it.
The emotionally wealthy put responsibility before leisure and choose kindness over rightness.
7. Discerning.
The
emotionally wealthy are this way for a reason. They do not expose
themselves to people who discourage or demoralize them.
They deliberately keep the company of others who are also driven,
inspiring, honest, committed and going somewhere special in their
lives.
Energy is contagious and the emotionally wealthy are discerning of the company they keep, staying clear of negative people.
8. Real.
Emotionally
wealthy people aren't afraid to be real or to be vulnerable. They have
the courage to show the world who they are. They let people in because
they know all good relationships are based in the qualities of openness,
honesty, authenticity and integrity.
There
are no guessing games with these exceptional people. Others know
exactly where they stand with them. Emotionally wealthy
individuals expect the best from others and give the best of themselves
at all times.
They choose authenticity over insecurity.
9. Ready.

wait to get up in the morning. They never take life or opportunity for
granted. There are no thoughts of laziness in the minds of these great
people, rather, they are consumed with an internal sense of urgency and
enthusiasm to be ready, to get started and to make results happen.
