The POSITIVE EMOTIONS are associated with CREATION –
advancing health, wealth, imagination and inspiration.
The NEGATIVE EMOTIONS breed DESTRUCTION – illness,
disease, poverty, close-mindedness.
CREATION…or DESTRUCTION. Which set do YOU choose to
FUEL Your MIND?
In Chapter 12 of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill
listed the 7 Positive and the 7 Negative Emotions. The
chapter deals with the Subconscious Mind, but Hill
dropped this list in there, and I feel compelled to
write about them.
Here is the list…
Positive:
DESIRE
FAITH
LOVE
SEX
ENTHUSIASM
ROMANCE
HOPE
Negative:
FEAR
JEALOUSY
HATRED
REVENGE
GREED
SUPERSTITION
ANGER
On May 5, 2009 Michael Dlouhy added PROSPERITY to the
Positive side, and LACK to the Negative side.
Basically, EMOTIONS are STATES of MIND which are felt
as ENERGY in the BODY. EMOTIONS MOVE us, MOTIVATE us,
compel our MOTION.
Human Beings are the only animals who can TRAP and hold
EMOTIONAL ENERGY in their bodies and TRANSMUTE, or
convert them into other ENERGY and STATES of MIND.
The POSITIVE EMOTIONS are associated with CREATION –
advancing health, wealth, imagination and inspiration.
The NEGATIVE EMOTIONS breed DESTRUCTION – illness,
disease, poverty, close-mindedness.
The best way for me to understand these emotions is to
compare, what I believe are, their opposites:
DESIRE is the PASSION for achieving, acquiring,
creating – whether it be a new skill, an invention, a
new level of achievement, whatever – to manifest
something from an idea.
The opposite of DESIRE is JEALOUSY – the envy of the
achievement of others. It seeks to DESTROY others’
accomplishments, rather than to build one’s own.
FAITH is simply KNOWING, beyond all Doubt. We reach
this STATE by living in THE NOW – the bottomless depth
of the Present Moment, where ALL is KNOWN.
FAITH’S opposite is FEAR – the STATE associated with
the UNKNOWN. Living in the past and dwelling on the
future elicits this Emotion. Past and future are both
distorted concepts of reality – we do not KNOW the
future the way we know THE NOW, and the past is clouded
by our memories and the labels and judgements we’ve
placed on them. What we do not KNOW, we FEAR – and we
TRANSMUTE its energy into the other Negative Emotions
when we TRAP it.
LOVE is the pure JOY of BEING – connected to all that
IS. It is unconditional, cannot be lost, and cannot be
destroyed – no more than we can lose the sun on a
heavily overcast day – it still shines brightly on the
other side of the clouds.
The opposite of LOVE is HATRED. Most people mistake an
addictive clinging to an external source of affection
for Love. When this affection is withdrawn, the false
love flips to HATRED – an ongoing cycle of pleasure and
pain.
SEX is the ULTIMATE form of Human Desire, imprinted on
us by the biological imperative to further our species.
We TRANSMUTE its ENERGY into MAGNETISM, CHARISMA, and
GENIUS. It is the HIGHEST SOURCE of CREATIVE ENERGY
within our biological being. The EMOTION of SEX
promotes health, wealth and all good things to all who
receive or send it.
Opposite SEX is ANGER – the Driving Force of
DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY. It is most commonly bred by
trapping, holding and transmuting the ENERGY of FEAR.
ANGER is a toxic poison to all who receive or send it.
ENTHUSIASM is the ENERGY produced when PASSION is
combined with SPECIFIC GOALS. It radiates outward,
attracting resources to manifest its CREATION.
ENTHUSIASM is the ENGINE of PRODUCTION – akin to the
Big Bang which begat the Physical Universe.
ENTHUSIASM’S opposite is GREED – akin to a BLACK HOLE
which sucks in and annihilates all ENERGY and
RESOURCES. Just as the Dead Sea cannot support life
because its waters have no outlet, resources with no
outlet cannot support PRODUCTION. A prime example of
GREED is the irrational seeking of short-term gain at
the expense of the system which produces wealth. The
ultimate result is the annihilation of global monetary
and economic systems.
ROMANCE is the drawing together of harmonious
forces, an attraction of soul-mates like molecules
of the same element. This bonding is the root of all
CREATION.
Opposite ROMANCE is REVENGE – one force
seeking the obliteration of another. Whereas
ROMANCE strengthens both, REVENGE leads
to the DESCRUCTION of both.
HOPE is the EXPECTATION, without “rational” evidence,
of resources which induce CREATION. It is the natural
progression of Self-Evident FAITH, the wellspring of all
ACHIEVEMENT regardless of the “odds”. Strong HOPE
bends the odds in its favor.
The opposite of HOPE is SUPERSTITION – the belief in
things, without rational evidence, which induce FEAR.
Gossip, conspiracy theories, hastily drawn conclusions
– all generators of SUPERSTITION. It is a tool employed
by those who desire to hold power – enslaving others –
by seeding FEAR and DOUBT. Yup! Religious leaders,
politicians, tort attorneys, media manipulators, and
unsavory marketers – all professions infested with
adept MERCHANTS OF FEAR! (I’ll stop this paragraph
while I may yet have a few friends left.)
PROSPERITY is the STATE OF MIND which EMBRACES ALL OF
THE ABOVE POSITIVE EMOTIONS. It is the result of living
in THE NOW – KNOWING that all the ABUNDANT RESOURCES of
the UNIVERSE are at the disposal of those who RECOGNIZE
they are PART OF IT! I have known folks with limited
financial means who live in PROSPERITY.
PROSPERITY’S opposite, of course, is LACK – bred by
EGO’S denial of SELF – its seeking to be different,
unique, separate from all else. Those so inflicted with
this insanity feel a nagging longing, a sense of
disconnection, incompleteness, dissatisfaction, being
unfulfilled. They attempt to fill the void of LACK by
acquiring STUFF. When the stuff doesn’t fulfill then,
they seek MORE stuff. I have known folks with great
financial means who live in LACK.

FUEL Your MIND?

Hey Ken 🙂 I’m glad I found your blog!
There is much wisdom in your post. Obviously you thought things through pretty thoroughly before writing it all down.
Your comment about hope and superstition hits home tonight… the anniversary of the last time I saw my son alive. Superstition is often born of fear, when we make the wrong connections and draw the wrong conclusions about dates and events, etc. James was a wise young man, whose wisdom did not die with him. My whole family can often be heard quoting him regarding various things.
And because I have figured out what superstition is, the things I remember most about my son give me HOPE. Hope for my future, and always the hope – in this case, sure knowledge – that I will see him again one day.

Greetings from Florida! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to cneck out your blog on my
iphone during lunch break. I really like tthe information you provide
here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home.
I’m surprised at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone ..
I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, awesome site!
Hello, i think that i saw you visited my blog so i came to “return the favor”.I’m
trying to find things to enhance my website!I suppose its ok to use a few of your ideas!!
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is
popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d definitely
appreciate it.
As with all content on the Internet, we must rely on
people’s honor to quote sources.
But then, if the message is important, does it really
matter how it is spread?
There’s an old saying…
Plagiarism is the sincerest from of flattery.
Hello to all, how is everything, I think every one is getting more from this website, and your views are good

Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality nevertheless I will definitely come
again again.
It’s awesome to go to see this website and reading the
views of all colleagues regarding this article, while I am also zealous of getting experience.
Excellent way of explaining, and pleasant article to get facts regarding my presentation subject,
which i am going to present in institution of higher education.
I will immediately grasp your rss feed as I can’t in finding your e-mail subscription hyperlink or newsletter service.
Do you have any? Kindly allow me recognise so
that I could subscribe. Thanks.
Thanks in favor of sharing such a fastidious thought, post is pleasant, thats why i

This design is steller! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
Injury attorneys must be contacted when it comes to road accidents as such damages can lead to pain and depression. Injuries
are a part of one’s life and an unprecedented
injury may bring a person’s life at halt. What is
the difference between greed and desire for riches.
Desire is not always a Positive Force for GOOD. When
coupled with LOVE, Desire creates Romance, Hope,
Enthusiasm, Faith and Prosperity.
The person driven by such Desire influences others, and
all who come in contact with them receive benefits from
every interaction.
The GIVER who Desires to help and aid others is richly
rewarded for their service.
But Desire coupled with FEAR leads to Greed, Revenge,
Jealousy, Hatred, Anger and Lack. Folks who come in
contact with those driven by NEGATIVE Desire lose
something in every interaction.
The CONQUEROR who seeks to rule others against
their will loses everything to the next conqueror.
I blog frequently and I seriously appreciate your content.
The article has truly peaked my interest. I’m
going to take a note of your site and keep checking for new information about once
per week. I subscribed to your RSS feed too.
Amazing blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring
writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out
there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions?
Appreciate it!
I suggest starting with the WordPress.com free platform,
get experience,
then switch to a self-hosted account.
The advantage of self-hosting is: You own the content.

To get comfortable with blogging, it is easiest to start with a free blog from WordPress of Google’s Blogger.
Just know, if the blog is shut down for any reason, you will lose your content.
