Poem
It's easy to set the goal, and even put the process in motion, but continuing to push forward through struggles and frustration can require a shove to help draw out that emotional leverage. ~ Leigh Wilson Emotional happiness is a goal everyone would like to reach but attaining that destination is not something anyone can teach. The use of leverage is a viable solution to ignite the flames of fire, ones to use as sparks to light the way to have the life we desire There are several emotional concepts that I label after reflection that can motivate us and others to reach our chosen objectives Pride is usually thought of as a trait for which we shouldn't strive but it can also prove to be a useful tool that can keep hope alive for it can take a look at goals that were achieved or things done right. A point worth making; it opens a window giving slivers of foresight Joy is an emotion everyone feels when a goal is accomplished Any lever can be used to amplify an advantage that can be wished Something as simple as talking with others can make joy a reality It's a resource to change a behavior or attitude; not a hyperbole Hope allows us to have expectations of a life that we find fulfilling But life often pushes back with frustrations that could use distilling That's when we pivot, as a lever to make struggles less intimidating By facing problems head on, seeking solutions, instead of placating The fear factor dwells inside everyone when feeling uncertainty or an immediate threat, but it can be levered with a bit of diversity, a change in some areas of our lives where we experience less stress The more advantages we can obtain, we'll feel threats much less Anger is perhaps the biggest obstacle to having emotional well-being but used as a leverage, it can be used as a key that allows the freeing from threats that we experience, disrupting our sense of independency, enabling us to feel self-compassion and toward others with clemency Then there is the prospect of shame, used to encourage and persuade ourselves and others to avoid an action or a decision, wrongly made when we, or others might find out about a socially undesirable action. Leveraging devices give gentle shoves that lead to emotional satisfaction.
