own pattern and change your approach. Why smash through a wall if you can just look a little to your
left and find a door? Sometimes determination can be a limitation; you need to cultivate . . .
6. FLEXIBILITY. If there's one seed to plant that will guarantee success, it's the ability to change
your approach. In fact, all those Action Signals—those things you used to call negative emotions—are
just messages to be more flexible! Choosing to be flexible is choosing to be happy. Throughout your
life there will be times when there are things you will not be able to control, and your ability to be
flexible in your rules, the meaning you attach to things, and your actions will determine your long-term
success or failure, not to mention your level of personal joy. The reed that bends will survive the
windstorm, while the mighty oak tree will crack. If you cultivate all of the above emotions, then you'll
surely develop . ..
7. CONFIDENCE. Unshakable confidence is the sense of certainty we all want. The only way you can
consistently experience confidence, even in environments and situations you've never previously
encountered, is through the power of faith. Imagine and feel certain about the emotions you deserve
to have now, rather than wait for them to spontaneously appear someday in the far distant future.
When you're confident, you're willing to experiment, to put yourself on the line. One way to develop
faith and confidence is simply to practice using it. If I were to ask whether you're confident that you
can tie your own shoes, I'm sure you could tell me with perfect confidence that you can. Why? Only
because you've done it thousands of times! So practice confidence by using it consistently, and you'll
be amazed at the dividends it reaps in every area of your life.
In order to get yourself to do anything, it's imperative to exercise confidence rather than fear. The
tragedy of many people's lives is that they avoid doing things because they're afraid; they even feel
bad about things in advance. But remember: the source of success for outstanding achievers often
finds its origin in a set of nurtured beliefs for which that individual had no references! The ability to act
on faith is what moves the human race forward. Another emotion you'll automatically experience once
you've succeeded in cultivating all the above is ...
8. CHEERFULNESS. When I added cheerfulness to my list of most important values, people
commented, "There's something different about you. You seem so happy." I realized that I had been
happy, but I hadn't told my face about it! There's a big difference between being happy on the inside,
and being outwardly cheerful. Cheerfulness enhances your self-esteem, makes life more fun, and
makes the people around you feel happier as well. Cheerfulness has the power to eliminate the
feelings of fear, hurt, anger, frustration, disappointment, depression, guilt, and inadequacy from your
life. You've achieved cheerfulness the day you realize that no matter what's happening around you,
being anything other than cheerful will not make it better.
Being cheerful does not mean that you're Pollyanna or that you look at the world through rose-colored
glasses and refuse to acknowledge challenges. Being cheerful means you're incredibly intelligent
because you know that if you live life in a state of pleasure—one that's so intense that you transmit a
sense of joy to those around you—you can have the impact to meet virtually any challenge that comes
your way. Cultivate cheerfulness, and you won't need so many of those "painful" Action Signals to get
your attention! Make it easy for yourself to feel cheerful by planting the seed of...
