Step 2: Emotional Commitment

There is one quality which one must posses to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

—Napoleon Hill

Step 2 of the upside of FEAR process is getting powerfully emotionally committed to your income and sales goals, as well as any other goals you identified in the focus step. This commitment step also begins the process of moving from planning your exceptional life and business to actually taking actions toward making it your new reality. This is where you will move from knowing and wanting to doing.

Think back to a memory from your childhood that sticks with you even today. Once you’ve recalled a specific memory, consider how long it took you to recall it. A millisecond? For most people, it doesn’t take long. We can recall something that happened decades ago instantly if it’s important enough to us.

Now ask yourself this question as you think about that specific memory: What were you doing an hour before or an hour after the moment in the memory? If you’re like most folks, you can’t remember.

Isn’t that something? Despite having such a clear, precise memory of something that happened when you were a kid, you can’t remember what you were doing just before or just after.

More than 400 million seconds elapse from the moment you are born through your thirteenth birthday. And if you assume that each second that ticks by is a potential memory, then that’s 400 million potential moments to remember. Yet you remember only a handful of things from your childhood.

There’s a reason we remember a small number of things from our childhood over the course of so many years. It’s because of emotion. Memories are created when something that creates a strong emotion occurs; then, that event anchors to that emotion. Once that happens, decades can go by and you can still recall that moment at the drop of a hat.

Therefore, there’s a very good chance that you were feeling a powerful emotion during the memory you just recalled. You were likely very happy, very sad, very scared, or very something. It’s the emotional state you were experiencing in that moment that binds your memory to the event and ensures that you’ll never forget it.

Sometimes the memory is one we would rather forget, but we can’t. Once that memory is programmed into your subconscious mind, it’s not going anywhere—ever.

That’s the permanent effect of forming a powerful emotional connection to something: It’s there for the rest of your life. And even though you weren’t consciously thinking about it before you started reading this chapter, it was right there on the surface of your subconscious mind just waiting to be called up at a moment’s notice.

The goal of the emotional commitment step is to program everything you listed in the focus step into your subconscious mind, just like a powerful childhood memory. This will ensure that these items are deeply embedded in your subconscious mind. The items on your prosperity plan will be ever present in your subconscious mind.
