The ability to choose and direct our own thoughts is the greatest of our God given Freedoms:

If we utilize seize and manipulate this freedom we usually get what we define as success.

The ability to manipulate and control success lies deep within us all.  In fact it is a right given to us at birth.

This ability is wrapped around your free-will and ability to think independently. We have the choice of thought.

Deep in Thought

This is to say we choose what we think about at least for the most part unless we are in combat or facing some imminent emergency, and even then we have vast amounts of thought freedom and directional liberties.

Your ability to think is your link to a power that can only come from God himself. It is a power that is not clearly understood except by a very few.

For the most part your thinking produces who and what you are. You are in fact what you think not what you eat.

Thoughts Actions Self-Esteem

Self esteem and life direction are clearly linked to this power

and the access to this power is directly related to our level of thought control.

Therefore, access to this great power is our own ability to direct and control our thoughts.

The lack of taking control of your thoughts can easily result in a low self esteem or worse.  A lack of taking control of your own mind can take you to failure in every area of life.

Without taking control of this great Power you will severely limit your access and utilization of wisdom on its simplest level.

A failure to claim this control can result in your life being taken a direction chosen by another, who may drag you along like a weak minded seeker.

MY point is that you have the ability to think for yourself and if you take it and direct it to a positive goal then you can control and manipulate your own future as least for the most part.

 

Plan Your Life

If you use this ability to choose what you think about you can heal and determine your own self esteem as based on eternal principles. Anybody who tells you that you have no control of your self esteem is trying to make a profit.

 

 

 

 

 

If you control your own thoughts then you can largely control your life but not entirely, just mostly. Mostly will be enough for most people. I say Mostly, because few of us are subject to events that effect mass elements of our population, and all of us can befall an accident.

My point for now is that you can have full control of your thoughts if you chose. Once you take control then and only then will you will be in control of your own destiny. If you do not take control then you give control to somebody else or several somebody else’s. You know, Chaos.

I will go deeper into this on Tuesday April tenth. Thank you for reading. Robert Tafolla.

Who saved Paulson? A Tale of Two Sailors

Fate sometimes plays tricks on us. Events can have us spend years in preparation only to be set at another task before our preparation is complete.

God at times sticks his finger in our proverbial eye, and changes our focus. When the smoke clears it’s not always clear who gets the credit or who gets the blame.

When he does such things it is usually done for our own benefit, an act of love coming from the creator of all life.  These events are probably, an attempt on his part to cause us to refocus and decide to change our direction of life.

Total destruction is often the end result of the human causeway. However, we always take others with us. This may be another reason God sticks his finger unexpectedly in our lives, to help those who would also get hurt.

South Pacific 1945: A handsome young Japanese lad, fly’s his plane just shy of Maximum velocity. A pilot of the (Devine-Wind) a Kamikaze if you will, yet not entirely a volunteer.  He’s heading directly at an American Battle ship. Now in his moment of Triumph, what he greatly feared comes upon him.

Thinking, in and of itself was something this lad was usually good at. But when all eyes were upon him and he had to give an answer he did not want to look disloyal or appear as a coward. The emotional bonds were so strong that he volunteered for a task he didn’t want to perform.

Now he as to deal with the signals of regret, signals produced in his own mind and deal with the hard reality of an emotional and even eternal pain.  ”Why did I do it?”, or,”I should have done this…” or ” I wish I had said…”, the point is, he was trapped,  his emotional control was not strong enough to save him.

Not trapped by chains or by street gains of foolish adults who still think they are sixteen, but rather trapped by something far stronger. He was trapped by a Sociological ethos, a long standing list of untruths that are generally believed by the masses and pretended to be believed by those who didn’t.

With the added issue and pressure of his leaders and peers, he had no choice except to volunteer, a forced-volition, not just as a contradiction in terms, but a tearing in half of his own heart.

Now he speeds to his death alone with his thoughts, his sorrow, his pain and a life time of regrets.

Tatsuaki :”What Value O God was my life? My life will be over in a couple of moments. I was impressed into this deathly service, the eyes of my peers and authorities’ watching.

Now I race towards the USS New Mexico at 800 

USS New Mexico of Okinawa

Kilometers per hour. Why did they do this to me? Why did not my commander see more value in my life than to ride a bomb into a Battle ship?

 

All those years I studied in school, and all my hard work and what will all that work amount to now in my moment of Death?

If they would have let me, I could have invented a weapon that would do far more damage than this plane. “Nobody could see or test my ability to lead?”

Oh God I don’t really know who you are but I sure need you now. I want you to remember me now in my death and forgive me. I feel that I have wasted every moment of this precious life you gave me.

I wish things could have been different. I wish I could see my Mom and Dad again and my darling Chiyeko. When I left her she kissed me for the first time and told me she loved me too, now I will never see her gain. She will marry another and forget me. I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS!!!

I am so sorry, to die and worst of all, at a time when life is so precious to me. Now I speed to kill others as my last earthly act. Their deaths will not change the outcome of this war any more mine will. Those I kill will die in vain like me.

“I wish I had one more chance to do any kind of good before I die”.

“I come in range of their guns now, why are they not shooting at me?

“I’m coming to kill you Joe, kill me first so one of us can live.”Tatsuaki speaks out loud.

At that moment the engine is hit and hot oil splashes in his face as he turns away he pulls back on the stick and the plane misses the USS New Mexico by about a foot according to eye witness accounts.

30 Seconds Earlier: 

Anti Aircraft Gunnery USS New Mexico

 

Seaman 1^st Class Maurice Paulson, was in charge of Moral on the Queen (USS New Mexico) and as such he had no battle station, he was allowed to wander the ship. He spent most of his time running errands and getting things for other crew member s that were stuck for days at their battle stations.

Maurice did not have to be there at the anti aircraft battery where Tatsuaki’s plane would have hit. Maurice was there helping load the ammunition magazines into the anti-aircraft guns as a volunteer.

While everybody was shooting at another plane Maurice noticed a Zero coming up fast. In fact it was too close already, he yelled “Watch out” but there was nothing anybody could have done at that last second. He grabbed hold of the rail and closed his eyes and said “Lord here I come”

To his chagrin the plane pulled up at the last possible second and misses the ship entirely. Maurice runs across the deck to the opposite side of the ship to see the plane ditch in the water. Two seconds earlier he was certain to die, now he was spared and thus very unexpectedly.

In fact, so certain was he of his own death that his deliverance from the disaster was a profound shock, a shock that changed his young life forever. From that day forward he took hold of a stronger purpose and reason for his life.

He determined to live life to the fullest and to make a difference in his life time.

Tatsuaki, ditches in the water having missed the USS New Mexico and struggles to get himself out of his aircraft, at the time all he could think about was getting to the cool sea water to stop the burning and getting out of the plane before he becomes a Japanese Submarine.

Tatsuaki, dies soon after, and the last unintentional act of a loyal Japanese pilot saves the life of Man determined to make something of himself, and charges him with a determination that would last a life time.

Maurice Became a Baptist Preacher and a missionary to Africa. Later he would become a Staff Member for the Famous Pastor Jack Hyles and a Professor at Hyles Anderson College in Crown Point Indiana. His ministry was far reaching and became a chain of events that continues this day.

This short writ done in Fond memory of: Maurice Paulson USN.  7th June 1922 – 6 March 1997. This great and beloved man spent his life preaching the Gospel of Jesus, the Christ of the Living God.

Also in fond Memory of the Loyal Japanese pilot, whose last aviation act spared Paulson’s life intentionally or not? In the final analysis the incident was in fact, an act of God. Robert Tafolla

Emotional Int:And Self Esteem part 4

There are psychologists and philosophers such as myself who teach about self esteem and they really are not teaching the entire problem or how to solve it. They literally miss the biggest part of the puzzle.

 

I don’t doubt for a moment that some of them know and understand the entire picture, they just think that they will make more money if they don’t teach it.

 

I guess this is understandable, after all, we all need money to survive in this turbulent economy. And keeping distance from controversial facts is a regular practice in today’s business environment.

 

The truth is there are several exterior sources and origins of ones self esteem. Let me stop and make it clear that when I use the word (sources) I am not referring to a web page, book or Guru, rather, I am talking about events, Places and persons (in direct contact with us) as an advent in our daily lives.

 

These Places, Persons, and or events can and do have an effect on our self esteem. To understand this and how they affect us is critical, this is emotional intelligence. Some of these events may have taken place years and years ago and the effect they had on our self esteem is still in force today.

 

It may be true that our mind is able to prevent the negative influence of some of these, yet this is dependent upon ones emotional awareness and the kind and level of Mind Control and Self Control that the subject individual may or may not have.

 

It is inversely true that if these places, Persons, and Events are positive one may not be able to use them to maintain a healthy Self Esteem without some Self Control, training and practice. This is where emotional Intelligence can play a vital roll in ones life.

 

In this short Article I mentioned only three things and all of them are in the physical world. There are others that can have a far greater effect on us that exist only in other segments of our existence such as emotional, & spiritual.

 

The purpose of this short writ is to make the reader aware that Self Esteem does not come only from within but also from without, from exterior sources that we may have little or no control over.

 

Because of this truth, it is critical that we grow and maintain our emotional awareness and self control. Reason being, the level of Emotional-Intelligence, Self-Control, and general knowledge of God himself is what will finally give us full and able control of our self esteem and therefore our lives.

 

As much power is available to us in our own minds and freedom of mind it (this Mind Power) will stay unrealized and dormant unless we utilize the facility within ourselves to make it all happen. This ability is made possible in part by knowledge, understanding and a desire that creates self control.

 

We can achieve these without a real understanding if we know, accept and practice biblical behavioral principles. by believing and practicing the bible we can make changes that would normally take years and years of influence and emotional learning to achieve.

Belief grants us access to fixes that we are unable to understand yet can be achieved through practice if we accept them as truth through the capacity of principle.

 

More about ourselves and exterior sources and effects of self Esteem and emotional intelligence in future articles. Thank you for reading.© All rights reserved. Robert Tafolla Emotionalintelligencebooks.com

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE COMMITMENT: PART THREE.

Mohandas Karmachand Gandhi:

Commitment, the one Quality and emotional event without which no person could become a success.

Wanting to become a barrister, he studied law at University College London. After being called to the bar in 1891 by the High court in England, he returned to India.

He was taken by the discipline the Gujarati didactic stanza which teaches to return good for evil done.

When he took to the idea that India will be free he was also determined to do so without firing a single shot. He believed that real power was held in the elements of character and determination.

He set forth on a pilgrimage from Gujarat in Western India to Dande in the western coast of India, a distance of 357 kilometers.

At the end of his trek he stopped at the salty sands, and picking up a handful, he addressed the crowds that thronged him,

“With this salt I dismantle the power of the British Empire.” He considered unfair the British tax on extracting salt from salt water and he encouraged his followers to peaceably disobey unfair laws set forth by the British Raj.

The independence movement had its ups and down and not all Indians believed the same as Gandhi.  Some even sided with the Axis powers during World War II, because the Indians fought for freedoms that they were denied in India. This brought contention.

However, the majority of the population did agree with Gandhi and the peaceful movement prevailed despite the British stripping them of legal rights by giving themselves the right to false imprisonment and not rendering a trial by jury.

Gandhi was part of the “Quit India Movement” in 1942. He insisted that the movement was peaceful.  When violence broke out, Gandhi refused to eat until all the violence was stopped. This made an impression on the Indian Peoples and the British Raj.

He was a peaceful man, and although determined to have independence, he was determined to attain it within the confines of his principles. He was committed to peace as much as he was committed to Independence.

In 1947 he attained both when Lord Louis Mountbatten announced partition of India into two countries:

Pakistan and India and declared both as sovereign nations.

In 1950 India adopted its first constitution.

As a freedom fighter he demonstrated tremendous self-control and emotional awareness. He was totally in control even when faced with unfair and unreasonable laws set up by the British. He is an excellent example of what can be achieved by commitment, determination and the passion that these will produce. Thank you for reading.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Bravo for Daniel Goldman’s Book: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

This is the most enlightening book ever written on Emotional Intelligence and must for anyone desiring success and happiness.

American Culture has always exalted the High-IQ, yet now we can understand how that thinking may have been in error. Daniel Goleman puts it all in perspective.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE COMMITMENT: PART TWO.

Commitment, the one Quality and emotional event without which no person could become a success.
I can recall building a business literally from the ground up.

There were two distinct attitudes that were clearly noticeable.

At the beginning of the project, I was not very committed; there existed a lot of fear and what-if’s, and worst of all, what will they think? I had many concerns, especially because the project was built with no money of my own.

Additionally, there existed during this time a tremendous amount of opposition: objections from the zoning department and building department. Soon the feds were involved.

The world came out to oppose me; I spent my time jumping through hoops in an endless attempt to please my Authorities on every level.

After about a year into the project, one of my mentors advised that I needed to burn my bridges and determine to myself that it was going to get completed. He was talking about the mental and emotional attitude of Commitment.
I did just that. An attitude of Commitment came over me, and things changed overnight. My dealings with all levels of the government smoothed out. I still had to obey all the rules; however, they became helpful to see my project through.
Those whose help I needed just showed up at my door. I seemed to accidently run into people who could solve the problems that I was facing.
One day the Government informed me that I had to get rid of all the black dirt on the property. The Black dirt was fourteen inches thick, and to remove it meant that I needed to build the property up about three feet.
This is not a real problem if you have a buyer for 3500 Yards of Black fill; unfortunately, there was no such buyer, even after weeks of looking.
Worse still, we needed 9,000 yards of Sand to replace the dirt and to build up the property after the Black dirt was gone.

About the time I changed my attitude to one of full commitment, I was able to envision a solution.
A large heavy construction company was building an overpass for the state not a block away from the site. I knew they needed thousands of yards of black dirt.
I also discovered they had to dispose of thousands of yards of sand. My problem was exactly opposite of theirs, and I hoped that this would make us partners.

Up most of the night in anticipation of our conversation, I approached the company at 5:30am Monday morning, waiting at the front door. I wanted to be there when the man arrived before anything could busy his day.

He patiently listened to my proposal. I asked him to use his people and machines to remove the black dirt from my property and use it in exchange for 9,000 Yards of sand that they needed to remove anyway.

They deliberated over my proposal for three days and then called me over. They accepted and asked me to draw up a legal agreement.

Before they could get started, I had to have a building permit, which the city had refused to give me thus far. All my paperwork went right back to the city, with new plans and elevations reports, flooding papers — the whole nine yards.

I did not fear this time, believing they would approve it, and they did.
Soon the work was underway, and after so long a time the project was actually in groundbreaking. All it required was element of perseverance and a new attitude of commitment.
1. Once I was committed in full, there was no fear; I was bold as a lion.
2. Once I was committed, opposition seemed to somehow become friendly.
3. Once I was committed, eighteen-hour days were not a problem.
4. Once I was committed, I had Passion and more than I thought possible.
5. Once I was committed, it all happened for real.
6. Once I was committed, some people even asked me to run for Mayor.
7. Once I was committed, everything started to fall into place, as if the world itself wanted me to have what I had envisioned.

Remember what I said in the last Article.
“Commitment will produce Passion, but Passion cannot produce commitment.” Robert Tafolla.
He who is not committed to his work will be easily stopped. He who is not committed to his purpose will find light opposition insurmountable.
Only a Full and determined commitment to any task will make one’s goal a certain vision that will become a reality.
Commitment itself is an emotional issue and man who commits himself to any task will find a road set for his emotions and what to do with them, Committing nothing will stop a man, yet a committed man cannot be stopped. I believe and have seen demonstrated time and again that:
“Whatever a man can conceive and believe, he can achieve.” Henry Ford.

Commitment, the one Quality and emotional event without which no person could become a success.

All people need the power of “the Commitment,” it is downplayed In many circles today and even given a bad name in others.

Some people even think that a lack of commitment will lead them to success; this is a dangerous mistake and contrary to rational thinking.

For example, I know a man who lives with a beautiful woman who had birthed three

children for him.

I asked him why he does not marry her.

He actually said, “I’m not ready to commit.” I could not believe my ears. He has three kids with this girl, and still he wants to keep the option open to leave if a prettier girl comes along.

This excuse, or a variation of it, is caused by specific behaviors and events that can be and should be avoided.

Let me leave you with this: “He does not respect her. this is something he needs in a woman that she can’t give him.”

This Woman, like many, has committed everything to this relationship holding nothing back and still “he” is not committed. In what is she investing and is it forever?

Without Commitment, a quality long-term relationship is not possible. I will talk about this in a future article and podcast.

 

The Board

Corporate America Loves Commitment:

I spoke with a man on several occasions about his career in the corporate environment, and he had an interesting story.

He said that he wanted a new job at a higher rate of pay, but he couldn’t leave his present corporation right now.

When I pressed him as to why, he said, “I’m waiting for my corporation to give me an award that I need on my resume to get the next job.”

I was astonished that he was not ashamed of himself as a man and a Christian. In an act of total disloyalty he was waiting for recognition of accomplishment by his present company to leave it and go work for another.

 

This lack of Loyalty and commitment offended me as an employer, a man and a Christian.

I said nothing, yet I pondered how the company was giving him rewards and perks to keep him,recognized his value and contribution.

To use that confidence and investment to secure another position with a competitor shows his total lack of commitment.

He was climbing the corporate ladder and being groomed for a top-level position, but that was not enough.

As a major executive, if the company was not doing well enough, it was in part his fault.

He did ditch his corporation and now has left corporate America completely.

The Emotionally Intelligent thing to do was to stay and commit to his present corporation and let that commitment produce a passion to see it Succeed to the fullest.

Commitment is part of real Success:

Here I have given you two real-life examples of how a lack of commitment will work against you.

Thoreau said: “Nothing great ever happened without enthusiasm.”

I must say that although this is totally true, this statement does not tell us how to produce genuine and lasting enthusiasm; this is an emotional Endeavor.

This kind of enthusiasm cometh not forth except through the embattling spirit of the committed.

If you retain anything I say, remember this: “Commitment will produce Passion, but Passion cannot produce commitment.” This adage relates directly to both of my examples. Think about it.

Next time I will give two real-life examples of how commitment will work for you and produce a passion that will be part and parcel of your success.

Officer Hazzard: “When I got notice that they were putting me on night shift, I had to try to get back on swing. I know what usually happens on night shift – nothing.  The last time I ran this shift, the nights went so slow I could barely stand it.

The most exciting thing that happened was a silent alarm at a business that goes off about once a week, but there’s never anything happening over there.

Some of the officers really take their time responding to some of these regulars, myself included.

I was awake all day helping my wife with my daughter’s birthday party and fixing the van. Now I will be up all night working. There are places where the night shift doesn’t give a Cop a chance to breathe, but in this town, well it’s worse than Mayberry.”

Sgt. Pavel: “Hey Hazzard, welcome to night shift. Ha Ha!”

Officer Hazzard: “You didn’t recommend me for this shift, did you?”

Sgt. Pavel: “I wouldn’t do that to my worst frenenemy.”

Hazzard sits down next to him.

Sgt. Pavel: “Actually, I have done that to my worst enemies.”

The two have a good laugh.

Officer Hazzard: “I know, you dirt bag, I was next, right?” spoken in jest.

With that the shift meeting started, consisting of a five-page handout, a verbal review of earlier business and a reassignment of patrol vehicles.

Within a few moments the officers were getting into their cars and checking in with the dispatcher.  As Hazzard and Pavel drove off together assigned as a roving patrol, Hazzard thought to himself, “at least we can go wherever we want.”

The two Police officers drove away casually, headed to the regular start-shift stop, Winchell’s Donut House.

Sgt. Pavel: “Did you get any sleep today?”

Officer Hazzard: “No, none.”

Sgt. Pavel: “Rachel’s birthday party?”

Officer Hazzard: “Yeah, among other things.”

Sgt. Pavel: “I’m going to get a cup of coffee. Ya want anything?”

Hazzard: “No, not right now at least.”

Officer Hazzard contacted the dispatcher. “Champion.”

Dispatcher: “This is Champion.”

Hazzard: “Champion, this is Victor One Echo, we are Ten Eight at Winchell’s on Broadway.”

Dispatcher: “Affirmative: Victor One Echo, Ten Eight, 22:32.”

As the Sergeant left the cruiser to go inside, Officer Hazzard fell fast asleep. When he returned, Hazzard woke with sleepy eyes.

Sgt. Pavel: “Hey just take a nap; I’ll wake you if anything happens.” With that he fell back to sleep.

00:13 hours.

Officer Hazzard awoke to two rapid gun shots. As he looked up he saw a dark-colored car screeching off into the darkness. Jumping out of the crusier, he ran up to Sgt. Pavel who lay in a growing pool of blood in the middle of the road.

He found a pulse but Pavel couldn’t speak. Hazzard ran back to the cruiser and grabbed the radio. “Champion, this is Victor One Echo. I have an officer down — he’s been shot!”

Dispatch: “Victor One Echo, what is your Ten Twenty?” (what is your Location?)

Hazzard looked around, but there was nothing but hills and trees like a thousand other places in the area. Dispatch interrupted again. “Victor One Echo, what is your Ten Twenty?”

Hazzard felt a terrible panic of emotion come over him. He looked with great care for any clue as to his whereabouts. The dispatcher interrupted his thoughts again. “VICTOR ONE ECHO, WHAT IS YOUR TEN TWENTY?” He kept looking, taking a few steps down the road, but couldn’t see anything to indicate his location.

“VICTOR ONE ECHO, THIS IS VICTOR TWO FOXTROT- WHAT IS YOUR TWENTY?”

“COME IN PLEASE!”

Hazzard threw the mic on the car seat and screamed at the top of his lungs, “OH GOD, HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Dispatch: “VICTOR ONE ECHO, WHAT IS YOUR TWENTY?”

“ECHO, WHERE ARE YOU!”

Officer Hazzard: “CHAMPION, I DON’T KNOW WHERE I AM. THERE’S A LOT OF WOODS, BETWEEN TWO HILLS WE ARE ON A FLAT TURN AND A PAVED ROAD, NO HOUSES OR BUILDINGS VISIBLE.”

He dropped the mic.

He started to run down the road in an adrenal high off the scale of a normal life span. “OH GOD, HELP MEEEEEEE!”

Author’s Note: Emotions can be tricky things to mix with Police Protocols and Procedures.  A full day’s activity and the emotional state of a normally hard-working man can settle him down for night of rest at work.

Officer Hazzard’s sleepy lethargy and attitude of complacency cost a man his life all these years ago, not to mention his own job.  Sometimes circumstances leave us without our strength of body and mind.

These are times when we act out of character and a sense of duty, but these must be done on purpose and with intent. Thank You, Robert Tafolla. “All Rights Reserved”©   http://emotionalintelligencebooks.com

UNDISCLOSED PATROLMAN:”I SEE THEM…”

Recommended Book for this Article

Emotional Intelligence is defined by psychologists as the ability to reason about emotion. Emotion has as much effect upon our practical lives as the use of physical knowledge itself; therefore, I find this definition to be sensible.

Emotional Intelligence cannot be micro-separated from the components of plain Wisdom. Emotional Intelligence in clinical theory and in practical application is an inseparable part of wisdom itself.

No Wise person can be so without the use of Emotional Intelligence. It matters not whether or not the term is familiar; no man can be wise or be perceived as wise if he lacks the awareness of his emotions necessary to keep them under subjection to his will.

Naturally, no Wise person can subject his emotions to the will of God unless he or she has control of them.

Any study of emotion will thrust a person into an arena whereby he must believe in God. If he chooses not to believe, this is certainly his choice, but a dangerous one.

Emotions will always point to Wisdom and the seeking of the Almighty as a person.  If your study of emotions has not taken you here yet, then your time is on the horizon.

Wisdom is defined in Strong’s as skillful. This is obviously referring to our use of knowledge, in the emotional and the physical dimensions.

We could say then that wisdom is the deliberate use of knowledge to achieve a good and useful purpose or goal successfully. Wisdom is the following of a successful formula to achieve a desired outcome. This is exactly what Emotional Intelligence is all about.

Emotional Intelligence is the effectual use of emotional awareness in yourself and others for the purpose of understanding yourself and them, and therefore determining a course of action that is best for both. This in itself is a Biblical Principle.

As stated: Emotional Intelligence cannot be micro-separated from the elements and or components of plain Wisdom. Any attempt to do so will leave the clinical form and idea of Emotional Intelligence an incomplete philosophy at best.
