Are Your Emotions Pointing You Toward Success or Dragging You Down?

Your emotions are actually a signaling system. Every time you feel joy and love and happiness, it means that you're attracting the right things that your soul wants. Every time you feel sadness, anguish, guilt, shame, it's a warning system alert. You're attracting the wrong thing. In the book Happiness Advantage by Shawn Acher, the Harvard researcher, he cites all of the studies that show that happiness bliss produce incredible results. Doctors, when they are primed to be happy are 3x more intelligent and creative salespeople who are optimistic 56% better at closing sales. Students who are primed to be happy with a cheerful teacher do better than their natural peers. Employees, when they have a friend at work they are 700% more engaged in their work. So the paradox of intention is this. Have goals, have desires but your happiness cannot be tied to these goals. You must be happy before you get to them. This is why practices like gratitude, like celebration are so vital.
