Too many people are driven by their feelings. They do things when they feel like and they ignore those that they do not feel like doing.
Yet success is reserved for those who do things as demanded and not as felt.
Ordinary people make decisions based on conditions, but there is another level where you create the conditions you want by your decisions, regardless of how you feel. Until you master your feelings, you will never fully arrive at your destination in life.
There is a season and a time for every purpose: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to harvest; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak. When the time for something comes, it no longer matters how we feel about it. We just have to get up and do it.
Some people did not feel like going to school when they should have gone. It affected the outcome of their lives. Some people did not feel like working when they should have done so, and it ultimately affected the outcome of their lives.
What time is it in your life right now? What needs to be done in this season of your life
Once you locate what needs to be done, then you need to silence the voice of feeling. Learn to practice this with non-life threatening things. Maybe you decided to jog in the morning. When you get up and you don’t feel like jogging, jog anyway. The ramifications are beyond the jogging experience. You are taming the voice of feelings.
Simple...program your time to sleep and time to wake up, remember your destiny is tied on how much you can conquer sleep and the feeling of wanting to stay in bed.
Staying in bed might provide me a perfect present, but getting up and reading and researching and doing what I need to do will guarantee me a better future than my present. These thoughts became pictures in my mind and became my motivation for getting up. Simple...program your time to sleep and time to wake up, remember your destiny is tied on how much you can conquer sleep and the feeling of wanting to stay in bed.
Usually, the activities that lead to a future better than your present are never pleasant. They are demanding duties that you will not naturally feel like doing. This is one of the differentiating factors between super successful people and the others.
Those who wait for perfect conditions will never get anything done. Those who wait to feel before they act will never amount to much. There is a higher level of existence that supersedes the way we feel.
Triumph of duty over feeling is best expressed in movies about presidents – especially US presidents. The job of the presidential security is very simple: take a bullet for your boss even if you did not vote for him and even if you do not like him. Now that takes the taming of feelings to a whole new level.
Maybe it is time we view more situations in similar context. Then we will truly have our feelings properly tucked up where they belong. Then we will truly be in control of our lives.

A time comes in our lives when our advancement will be hinged on our ability to overcome our feelings and do the things that we do not feel like doing but which we must do.
We will often have to work with and do business with people we don’t like. We will sometimes be expected to submit to bosses we don’t like.
If we allow ourselves to be driven by how we feel, progress will elude us. We must get to that place in our lives where we choose to become comfortable with some things that we are not comfortable with, in order to secure our long term comfort. It is called paying the price.
