To become the person you want to be, the seven negative traits that haunt you through life and prevent you from being successful, must be eliminated.
Once you rid yourself of negativity you will be amazed at how positive life can be by encompassing positive emotions - you will emerge a different person.
However, your desire for self improvement must become a passion and the work that it takes to make this transition will not be easy, so you must have endless faith and dogged determination to reach the success you desire.
By analysing the seven main negative traits, you can put them in perspective as follows: 1.
Fear Fear of rejection, fear of public speaking and fear of what other people think of you are the main fears everyone has.
You will know that fear is brought about by lack of confidence.
To overcome your fear, you have to say to yourself "what is the worst thing that could happen to me if I go over and talk to that person" or "if I speak at the meeting addressing 50 people".
Sometimes it is worth just a little embarrassment to pluck up the courage to talk to the person of your dreams or unease to speak on a subject to an audience of 50 people but once you have done this you will be amazed at the confident feeling you gain and how you will feel.
Once you have overcome fear, you will wonder why you have not confronted it before.
2.
Jealousy Jealousy is a sad, wasted emotion and if you allow this emotion to take hold it will cause you nothing but sorrow.
Being jealous of another person's possessions or lifestyle is an unnecessary emotion but it exists in the materialistic age that you live in.
Replace any jealous thoughts or feelings with happy, joyful ones.
Instead of thinking enviously of someone or something, interchange this feeling with something that makes you feel good.
Jealousy is a conceited trait that is looked upon as a very unattractive emotion.
3.
Hatred Hatred is another worthless emotion.
Although you may think there is a very good reason to hate someone or something, is it really worth the time and effort you spend carrying this hatred around with you? It is much better to laugh and not show contempt for anything or to anyone, no matter how difficult it might be at the time, and channel your emotions into something worthwhile and positive.
By turning these feelings around to a positive state you will overcome any hatred you possess.
4.
Revenge Revenge, like hatred, can take your mind off of what you are trying to achieve and if left unchecked can fester within you and cause worthless emotion and wasted energy, leaving you feeling bitter, angry and resentful.
So no matter what a person has done to you, just concentrate on putting 100% effort in pursuit of the goals in your life.
When your goals have been achieved you will realise the importance of focussing on something worthwhile and you will be glad that you did.
5.
Greed Greed is often associated with jealousy.
In fact, these two emotions go hand in hand.
As a result you will find that greed is never far away from you in various shapes and forms but as you have probably heard, it is better to give than receive.
If you are able to help a person less fortunate than yourself or donate to a deserving charity, you will find that your gain will be far greater than whatever theirs will be.
Just to experience the sensation you have from helping others far outweighs anything else and will leave you feeling exhilarated.
6.
Superstition Some people might believe in these good luck charms but I have never heard of a rabbit's foot or a horseshoe making any difference to anyone.
7.
Anger Maybe you have been the victim of your own anger at some stage in your life and at the time it seemed right.
Perhaps you had a disagreement with a friend and made hurtful remarks or you had broken or damaged something in temper and regretted it soon afterwards.
But remember in some instances this not only costs you money, the stress could raise your blood pressure which serves no purpose at all.
Consequently, it is true to say that if these seven negative traits can be overcome and replaced by positive ones you can eventually become the person you really want to be and deserve to be.
It may take some effort on your part but the outcome will be well worth it.
Why not put this into action and see what happens! Remember, never put off 'til tomorrow, what you can do today.
