Chapter 8 and 9 Talk About Vocabulary of ultimate success Thus including metaphors

Tony Robbin says Words. They have been used to make us laugh and cry, they can wound or heal, they offer us hope and devastation, with words we can make noblest intentions felt and our deepest desires known.

Hence Robbins says Words can injure our egos or inflames our hearts, we can instantly change any emotional experience simply by choosing new words to describe to ourselves what we are feeling.

Most of us don’t realize that the words you habitually choose also affect how you communicate with yourself and therefore what you experience

For example, if you develop a habit of saying you “hate” things – you “hate” your hair – you hate your job, do you think this raises the intensity of your negative emotional states more than of you were to use a phrase like I PREFER SOMETHING ELSE.

Chapter 10 Talk about The ten Emotions of power

Here author says that he believes that there are 4 basic ways people deal with their emotions

1. Avoidance

We all want to avoid painful emotions, as a result most people try to avoid any situation that could lead to the emotions that they fear- or worse. Some people try not to feel any emotion at all.

For example, they fear rejection, so they will try to avoid any situation that could lead to rejection, they shy away from relationships, they don’t apply for challenging jobs.

Dealing with emotions in this way is the ultimate trap because while avoiding negative situation may protect you in short-term. A much more powerful approach is to learn to find out the hidden positive meaning in those things you once thought were negative emotions.

2. Denial

A SECOND APPROACH TO DEALING WITH Emotions is the Denial strategy. People often try to disassociate from their feelings by saying, “it doesn’t feel that bad.” Meanwhile, they keep stroking the fire within themselves by thinking how horrible things are. This isn’t good it will affect you and your life

3. Competition

Many people stop fighting their painful emotion and decide to fully indulge in them, rather than learn the positive message their emotion is trying to give them, they intensify it and make it, even more, worse than it is, it becomes “badge of courage” and they begin to compete with others.

Never compare yourself with others. You are unique and the only competition is you yourself, this mindset will move you ahead in life.

4. Learning and using

If you want to make your life really work. You must make your emotion work for you. you can’t run from them, you can’t tune them out, you can’t trivialize them or delude yourself about what they mean, nor you can just allow them to run your life. Emotion can be really painful for sometimes, but they help you to take action and helps you to move towards your goals.
