Now, here is the second key that you will need if you desire for success. All the 12 Keys to Success are equally important, the order of how all the keys are sorted is not important here. All of the 12 keys are crucial and you must have them all!

Are emotions important to us? Indeed. All of our work will be influenced by our emotions. So what if you’re in a bad emotion? Do you think that you can deliver a perfect job if your emotion is bad at that time? If you want success, especially for businessman, then you will need to learn how to control your emotions. This is because they need to deal with people all the time to have your business done. If you don’t control your emotions, it is impossible to get your business deals in a nice and perfect way. Another great example is for network marketers. Every network marketers need to contact with their members all the time. So if they cannot control their emotions, all their members will leave them eventually.

You need to feel happy all the time. You need to feel positive all the time. Let me give you an example here of how important controlling your emotions can be. There is a father, who works in an insurance firm. One day he had been fired from his company. So he is in a very bad mood. When driving home, the traffic jams. He is so angry and keeps on sounding horns. Suddenly a car hits his car from the back. Now he is getting angrier and get out of his car, quarrel with the one who hit his car. Back at home, he sees his wife and he straight away scold her. Then went into his room and slam the door.

Now, the wife too is getting angry because her husband scolded her without any reasonable reason. The wife keeps scolding their children, throwing things. Then one of the kids drops some food on the floor and the wife give that kid a slap on the face. Did the kid feel happy? Of course not, the kid moves out of the house, and sees a cat walking across. What that kid did? That kid kicks that poor cat. Therefore you see, the negative effect of having bad emotion is so powerful. What if you are happy all the times? You can imagine that your positive emotions will influence all the people around you.

There are a lot of downs in our life. And many people don’t know how to control their emotions to face their downs. We are humans, we are can control our emotions. Why can we control our emotion? It is because we can control our thinking. And why can we control our thinking? It is because we have the power of making decisions. Thus you must learn how to make the right decisions.

Talking about controlling your emotions, what should you do when you’re upset or angry? Well, you can take bath, sing songs, etc. Just make yourself feel comfortable. You can even pretend to be happy when you are upset. Please don’t say that I’m crazy, but this is true and it definitely will help to cure your sadness. Some people say, when you’re down, try to smile and laugh more. The more you pretend the more it will come true. This is the same as reviewing your goals every night and what you need to do and dream about what kind of lifestyle you want. Your mind will stimulate it to become true.

Did you know that by practicing good and positive emotions and attitude everyday can lead you to a healthier, a more successful life? If you do so, you will influence all the people around you. You are going to create a positive and motivated environment. Just like in network marketing, did you know why network marketers always start their business by recruiting their family members?

This is because if your surrounding is doing the same thing like what you do (to make money or to be successful), you will always be in that topic, and hence you will be more motivated. What kind of emotions you have are going to determine what kind of environment you will be in. Add up 5 annual salaries of your good friends, and then divide the number with 5. You will notice that the number is close with your salary as well. This is the power of surrounding.

If you want to be successful today, always mess with successful people, let their positive thinking influence you. That is why creating a mastermind group, sharing thoughts with people that have the same goals with you are so much important.

There you have it, the second key to success, control your emotion. Don’t let your emotion controls you. You have the power of making decision, always think positively and control your emotions.
