Hi Robert thanx a lot about the advises that appears on the excerpt of the upcoming book, well forgiveness is the only way to deal with manny issues. I really like what you say about justification.
Please hold reach dad worksops in South Africa also because i am one of your supporters but i cannot attend workshops due to living in South Africa. Remember the charpter on Financial integrity and the example about the Coca-Cola company in the book Increase your financial IQ, please do the same abroad with the valuable workshops about financial intelligence.
This probably falls under justification, but I think a lot of negative emotions comes out of our expectations we hold for ourselves and others around us. We expect others to behave in a certain way especialy when it's anything to do with ourselves and we allow ourselves to be offended when others disappoint those expectations. I was at an associational meeting and spoke up against a proposal. A person in this small association made a sniping comment to me so everyone could hear it. I retourted and we went on with the meeting. Afterwards she came by my table and said she was sorry for her remarks and asked if I was offended. I replied to her question with a question. "Are we married?" and she said, "Well no!" and then I replied, "then I don't care!" We both had a good laugh and we remain friends to this day. I've learned that what people say about me does little to me if I choose not take offense. My dad always said, "I know I'm going to get hit, I just don't know from what direction."
As a licensed massage therapist for 21 years, Robert's comments about negative feelings and entitlement are on the bull's eye. There is alot of truth to what he says and if you can forgive someone or choose not to dwell on the negative, you will benefit on all levels...physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. Having a belief in God helps too with the forgiveness part and something wonderful happens when you forgive....inner peace. The world would be a nicer place if people learned to forgive more and not dwell on all the negative stuff.
On this new matter i want to tell you that i would have been surprised if Robert had not written this new book.Robert is right on the issue of justification.For 2yrs of my life i was caged in what robert has just described.A lover of 31/2 yrs left.we were christains.Maybe i would not have had a problem that she left but the manner it was done.She taught me how not to trust anyone.During the two years i struggled to get away from justifying how i felt.i dealt with self-pity(wasn't easy) and 2yrs after i became ten times better,great job i believe she might not expect i will get so soon,a lovely wife with good job,peace of mind and happiness.So i agree and support Robert on this new excursion because i know that without a right attitude cum emotion a great wealth can be LOST.Luv you Robert!!!
I would say justification is not a cause of negative emotions but, as the word suggests, it is justification for negative emotions you currently have, and an excuse for not changing or learning better ways of coping and managing events which have the potential to cause upset.
A quote I like goes something like this:-
'These events (or this person's actions) have tested your character. Did you pass or fail this test?'
The point being it is our attitude to life that causes negative emotions, justification merely gives us an excuse to indulge in self pity rather than changing your response.
Another good quote
'insanity is doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting different results'
Jim Rohn covers this area, as well as Brian Tracey.
Sometimes, when we name 'the demon', it disappears. Negative emotions are ALL based in fear...fear of losing, fear of getting, fear someone will beat us to the well... F.E.A.R. False Evidence Appearing Real or F-uh..Forget Everything And Run.
You said it beautifully when you suggested we take ownership and responsibility for our own feelings. We are raised to believe people, places and things have power over us...which is FALSE. We have the power of choice which ALWAYS brings consequence...sometimes good, sometimes not so good. By pointing at someone else, 4 fingers are pointing back at us, right? We do have the power of CHOICE...in EVERY moment.
Great start! Looking forward to the next chapter.
I have another question. My financial life is a mess. I don't point at any one else. I did it. Now I have to figure out where to start to clean it up. I don't want to go into here, Robert...but could you point me into the right direction? I can't even think about 'investing' or any of the wonderful titles you wrote. To mention one thing: i lost my house to foreclosure...and it goes on. I am TERRIBLE with managing money. It's time to stop this resistance to handling my business. ANY guidance is appreciated.
I find that this really resonates with me! I have spent the last 2 years really focusing on my response to work situations- and working on making a choice to be happy and take responsibility for my attitude, responses, and interactions with my fellow workers. As I have focused on making each day a good day, I have let go of petty resentments (forgiveness), accepted my own mistakes (without excuses), apologized more (even if I knew I wasn't necessarily at fault) and I have found others more willing to help and work together to make our work place a better place. I have a choice: be self rightous and make others miserable or be in charge of my behavior and create an environment of trust and cooperation.
First off, I just want to say thank you for your books and the new Richdadworld.com website. I'm learning so much from you everyday and you are changing my thinking and expanding my context with everything I read. Thank you.
I especially like the point you made about taking responsibility. Years ago my employer and I were talking about a mutual friend and I said to him, "Gosh, I really WANT to like the guy..." To which my boss laughed and said, "I couldn't have said it any better, myself." We both liked this person, but because he insisted on always being right, even when presented with irrefutable evidence that he was wrong, we just found it hard to like the guy. No matter what happened he would always place the blame on someone else: "There wrong," "They don't know what they're talking about," "They're stupid," etc.
I have a friend who is a counsellor who once told me that, "You have a choice, you can be happy or you can be right." When I think about this and the situation with our common friend, it made very clear sense to me. As our friend who was "always right," was quite a miserable person and had very few friends.
A few years later I was managing a building for a major University on the West Coast. Being new to this position, a bit scared of the responsibility and not really sure of what I was doing I had a situation where I made a substantial mistake. One that cost our unit about $30,000 above what was budgeted for the project. My immediate supervisor, who was ultimately responsible for the unit I was managing, was obviously horrified when she learned of my careless mistake. She immediately started talking about how she was going to lose her job, lose her house, lose everything. Thinking back to the guy we WANTED to like, I really knew what I had to do. Of course, I could have been a chicken, said nothing and let my supervisor take the heat for my mistake, but instead I contacted the Vice Chancellor to let her know that this mistake was my fault entirely, and to recommend that my supervisor not be held accountable for my carelessness. It wasn't easy to sit there as my palms, armpits and back started sweating profusely as I was being stared down by the VC. I was really hoping she would just fire me so I could get it over with and leave. After a few moments she asked me to step outside her office and wait. After about 20 minutes she called me back in, sat me down and in a very calm voice told me that I would not be terminated. She could see how scared I was, that I knew that I had made a hideous mistake and that I was genuinely sorry for it and willing to accept the consequences and not place the blame on someone else. She mentioned that I had learned a big lesson and that she knew it would not happen again. Which of course, it didn't.
Jumping 5 years ahead, at the same position, I had a student employee who left her apartment while cooking french fries on her stove. The hot grease caught the wall on fire and set off the building's sprinkler system. Destroying the apartment and flooding not only that apartment, but the office space below. After the fire department had cleared the building for us to re-enter and I had cleaned up the water. I had a talk with the student. I could see the same fear in her face that I had 5 years before when I was face to face with the Vice Chancellor. Being able to reflect on that moment I was able to not lose my temper or even raise my voice. I could see how sorry she was, I could remember my own bone-headed mistakes, and I realized that getting angry would only make her feel worse, it wouldn't accomplish anything and it wouldn't change the fact that the apartment was destroyed and the building was flooded.
What I learned from all of this is that if you take responsibility for your actions, there really is no mistake that is so terrible that cannot be forgiven. Forgiveness is amazingly powerful. On the otherhand, if you have to always be right (even when you're wrong), and do everything in your power to justify yourself or argue a losing battle when you know deep down that you're only making yourself look like an idiot, even your friends will find it hard to like you.
Robert,
I especially like the technique of remembering when you yourself did the thing you are being righteous about. I have heard it called "causative processing" because you are always the cause of your own negative emotions and the only way to control them is to accept full responsibility for them.
I look forward to the next installment. Keep up the good work!
Hello
Sounds like somebody has been listening to Brian Tracy's "Psychology of Achievement." An excellent set of CDs, and most of your points are covered on this course. I highly recommend it.
Yes, all your points are valid, and well expressed. It would be a better world if more people looked less at others for reasons of failure, and more into themselves.

My thoughts on the upcomming book on Negative Emotions..
This first excerpt is an eye opener for justification in my negative emotion..I could not get a handle on it of why..thank you for making it so clear. The Secret(movie) helps to get positive but the negative emotions still creep in. How do I handle them. Thank-you for the insight and coping strategies.
I work at a hospital and the disease/dis-ease of everyone can get my negativity going, especially with staff members bombardment. What a support to be bless (be grateful), responsible (why I am there?) and to keep on liking myself to remember to be exceptionally kind to me. I can get off of, being the lone crusader by checking me out, my own worse critic. I'm going to get better. I can not wait for Excerpt 2.. Thank-you.
Can't Solve the Problem from the level of the Problem
Robert your intent is superb but your method falls short. On the individual level or even on the group level you are doing what most current religions are doing engaging in mood making. As you know the mind has levels. Just as in nature at the deeper levels there is greater power. Effective change does not happen just on the surface of the mind no at these superficial layers you will remain stuck in the problem. You must introduce something from beyond the problem's reach in order to bring about the desired effect harmony,
peace, love,and fulfillment. It's like the phrase fighting a war to end all wars. It's the height of ignorance. The intent is good to end all wars. But again the solution can not come from the surface level of fighting. As you go deeper in nature more power is released. From the gravitational field then the electromagnetic, then the nuclear and finally the unified field. The 1st 3 laws of nature can have greater benefits such as the inventions we all enjoy however negative side effects such as global warming or nuclear war can occur as well. Enlivening the unfied field within the individual is very powerful it's called transcendence and releases negativity and creates positivity in the body, mind, and emotions. Activating the unified field on the level of society and even globally creates a peaceful world. Here is my poem. [When Robert asked us what we would do if we had all the money in the world. One of my answers was for me was to write poetry everyday- a labor of love.
The Bloodless Revolution
We had come from a tradition of revolutionary change.
Long ago we had embraced The Declaration of Independence.
You have heard of this overthrow of oppression
with the goal of forming a new sovereign nation.
There was The Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill.
But now in our time there is a bloodless revolution created by the
Global Country of World Peace founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
This country is composed of peace loving people from around the world.
This Invisible New Reality that is emerging is effortlessly removing the tyrants
of violence, poverty, ignorance and every form of slavery
What caused the Berlin Wall to tumble?
What caused Apartheid to end?
What caused the Cold War between the Super Powers to cease?
Why is the four thousand mile Iron Curtain being transformed into a bike path?
The Rand Corporation documents globally there has been an 85% drop in war deaths
in the past 15 years; but why?
Barack Obama states the day will arrive where there won’t be any
nuclear weapons on planet earth.
In Suffolk, England the air force base with the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in Europe
is no longer there. On the very same land a large Maharishi Peace Palace is being constructed.
Maharishi has proclaimed for 50 years that this is the generation that war will become obsolete;
And through his profound and powerful technology of peace, enlivening the Unified Field of all
the laws of nature, day by day global peace is quietly dawning.
We are the peacemakers and we have raised the flag of our borderless country
in hundreds of places around the world marking this shift into the golden age into a
Go to any workplace office. Most of the time you will always find a group of people start off the day with negative thoughts that will carry them to next day of defeat.
Control of what I say, Control of what I do. Release the negativ
Aloha Robert! I am pleased to be a part of your book and everything that you and your wife Kim are involved in. Everything that I read from you or her as well as Donald Trump keeps me inspired to keep moving forward!
In response to keeping it positive....it is a MUST in my world. As my husband and I also have income properties that we operate and in order for that to run as smooth as possible ( of course there are always bumps in the road) we HAVE to stay positive or everything we have dreamed of and worked so hard for the last 11 years would just go right down the drain. In everything that we endure whether it is a good situation or a bad situation we try to take the "learning" experience out of it. As long as we LEARNED from it what NOT to do or let happen the next time...we have succeeded! Positivity is key!
I see from first hand experience that if you TELL yourself you will succeed most likely YOU WILL. If you TELL yourself you are a failure from the get....you will fail. It's like my sister in law who is only 42 years young...she's constantly saying outloud "Oh, my poor old 89 year old self...." and I swear she now acts and walks and carries herself that way. It's sad what she has done to her own well being just from TELLING herself a negative thing everyday. Let's keep the positive vibes!
Aloha again,
Michelle
The most Negativa Emotion people have. Is when they say.
I Dont have the time!To Read to learn something new that they
Will improve.When they say I dont have the time they shot themself down. And that make me sad because my husband say that alot.And time is the most inportant part of your life.
Is good to talk about the four main causes of Negative Emotion.
Negative Emotion. I dont have the time.T0 Learn something new. If you dont have the time make the time.
Dear Robert,
As we all know, cause and effect. The effects of financial world caused rippled across the globe. Not being able to identify the cause, how does one get to the bottom of things to figure out a solution or solutions?
Same as every individual on earth, we all have a responsiblity toward oneself which leads to the overall of others.
Robert, if you can pull the rabbit out of a hat and make 10% of us to be RESPONSIBLE for ourselves, I worship you.
PS. Helicaptor Ben is on the 2nd term. Please write this book faster.
Dear Robert,
Please be careful starting down this path. As one blogger said you may end up in the "psycobable" arena. But my reasoning is different than his.
Making people look inside themselves is difficult. I think it will become more prevalent with the downturn in the economy because people will not have the luxury items to distract them.
I think your cause is excellent. As I have done in the past, I will support this endeavor also because it is true and you are right.
I don't know who is the largest sector who read your books today but judging from a real estate seminar by Dave Lindhal this past weekend you have a lot of readers in the 45-60 range. (he asked specifically if they had read your book) So speaking on this subject is germain. As usual you have hit on a great topic at a great time.
May your success continue. (and may mine follow!)

It´s hard to learn how to take controll over your feelings. Life seems much easier when you choose how to be. It´s like magic, forcing a smile on your own face and then after a while feeling happier. Keep it coming Robert.
I found this excerpt to be brilliantly constructed.
The elicitation on the consequences of "justification" for prolonging negative emotions was extremely enlightening to me. When you see a danger as a danger, it's so easy to avoid thereafter.
Much appreciation,
Chris
Wow, that's an obvious concept that has never crossed my mind.
When it comes to selling my mind goes into a flat spin awash with negative thoughts. I equate the mere concept of selling like climbing a 2000 foot vertical marbel cliff face without ropes or safety gear.
It's totally preventing me from gaining any momentum whatsoever.
Robert,
I think 1st excerpt was enlightening. Justification is a big problem in the world today. It has come to the point that people will try to justify any behavior. And the suggestions of how to reroute your thinking are perfect. They are quick and to the point.
Thank you for dedicating your time to enhance my life. I have read most of your books, and they have changed the way I live my life.
I believe this will be another great success. There are so many out there who do not know how to handle Negative Emotions. I was drug through a 5 year court battle by someone who did not know how to handle emotions or communicate issues which caused damaging emotions. After all was over, they realized it was a mistake. After several thousand dollars, and fighting my own negative emotions as a result of this, I am now almost back to myself and focusing on regaining my financial equlibrium and setting up goals towards once again moving ahead in the financial game of life. I have a lot of ground to make up for. Looking forward to the next excerp.
Hi Robert thanx a lot about the advises that appears on the excerpt of the upcoming book, well forgiveness is the only way to deal with manny issues. I really like what you say about justification.
Please hold reach dad worksops in South Africa also because i am one of your supporters but i cannot attend workshops due to living in South Africa. Remember the charpter on Financial integrity and the example about the Coca-Cola company in the book Increase your financial IQ, please do the same abroad with the valuable workshops about financial intelligence.

I've learned that what people say about me does little to me if I choose not take offense. My dad always said, "I know I'm going to get hit, I just don't know from what direction."

I would say justification is not a cause of negative emotions but, as the word suggests, it is justification for negative emotions you currently have, and an excuse for not changing or learning better ways of coping and managing events which have the potential to cause upset.

I find that this really resonates with me! I have spent the last 2 years really focusing on my response to work situations- and working on making a choice to be happy and take responsibility for my attitude, responses, and interactions with my fellow workers. As I have focused on making each day a good day, I have let go of petty resentments (forgiveness), accepted my own mistakes (without excuses), apologized more (even if I knew I wasn't necessarily at fault) and I have found others more willing to help and work together to make our work place a better place. I have a choice: be self rightous and make others miserable or be in charge of my behavior and create an environment of trust and cooperation.
Robert,
First off, I just want to say thank you for your books and the new Richdadworld.com website. I'm learning so much from you everyday and you are changing my thinking and expanding my context with everything I read. Thank you.

nuclear weapons on planet earth.
In Suffolk, England the air force base with the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in Europe
is no longer there. On the very same land a large Maharishi Peace Palace is being constructed.
Maharishi has proclaimed for 50 years that this is the generation that war will become obsolete;
And through his profound and powerful technology of peace, enlivening the Unified Field of all
the laws of nature, day by day global peace is quietly dawning.
We are the peacemakers and we have raised the flag of our borderless country
in hundreds of places around the world marking this shift into the golden age into a
time of permanent peace and prosperity for all.
Go to any workplace office. Most of the time you will always find a group of people start off the day with negative thoughts that will carry them to next day of defeat.
Aloha Robert! I am pleased to be a part of your book and everything that you and your wife Kim are involved in. Everything that I read from you or her as well as Donald Trump keeps me inspired to keep moving forward!
In response to keeping it positive....it is a MUST in my world. As my husband and I also have income properties that we operate and in order for that to run as smooth as possible ( of course there are always bumps in the road) we HAVE to stay positive or everything we have dreamed of and worked so hard for the last 11 years would just go right down the drain. In everything that we endure whether it is a good situation or a bad situation we try to take the "learning" experience out of it. As long as we LEARNED from it what NOT to do or let happen the next time...we have succeeded! Positivity is key!
I see from first hand experience that if you TELL yourself you will succeed most likely YOU WILL. If you TELL yourself you are a failure from the get....you will fail. It's like my sister in law who is only 42 years young...she's constantly saying outloud "Oh, my poor old 89 year old self...." and I swear she now acts and walks and carries herself that way. It's sad what she has done to her own well being just from TELLING herself a negative thing everyday. Let's keep the positive vibes!
Aloha again,
Michelle
The most Negativa Emotion people have. Is when they say.
I Dont have the time!To Read to learn something new that they
Will improve.When they say I dont have the time they shot themself down. And that make me sad because my husband say that alot.And time is the most inportant part of your life.
Is good to talk about the four main causes of Negative Emotion.
Negative Emotion. I dont have the time.T0 Learn something new. If you dont have the time make the time.
Dear Robert,
As we all know, cause and effect. The effects of financial world caused rippled across the globe. Not being able to identify the cause, how does one get to the bottom of things to figure out a solution or solutions?
Same as every individual on earth, we all have a responsiblity toward oneself which leads to the overall of others.
Robert, if you can pull the rabbit out of a hat and make 10% of us to be RESPONSIBLE for ourselves, I worship you.
PS. Helicaptor Ben is on the 2nd term. Please write this book faster.
Dear Robert,
Please be careful starting down this path. As one blogger said you may end up in the "psycobable" arena. But my reasoning is different than his.
Making people look inside themselves is difficult. I think it will become more prevalent with the downturn in the economy because people will not have the luxury items to distract them.
I think your cause is excellent. As I have done in the past, I will support this endeavor also because it is true and you are right.
I don't know who is the largest sector who read your books today but judging from a real estate seminar by Dave Lindhal this past weekend you have a lot of readers in the 45-60 range. (he asked specifically if they had read your book) So speaking on this subject is germain. As usual you have hit on a great topic at a great time.
May your success continue. (and may mine follow!)

It´s hard to learn how to take controll over your feelings. Life seems much easier when you choose how to be. It´s like magic, forcing a smile on your own face and then after a while feeling happier. Keep it coming Robert.
Be careful getting in the psycho babble business.
I found this excerpt to be brilliantly constructed.
The elicitation on the consequences of "justification" for prolonging negative emotions was extremely enlightening to me. When you see a danger as a danger, it's so easy to avoid thereafter.
Much appreciation,
Chris
Wow, that's an obvious concept that has never crossed my mind.
When it comes to selling my mind goes into a flat spin awash with negative thoughts. I equate the mere concept of selling like climbing a 2000 foot vertical marbel cliff face without ropes or safety gear.
It's totally preventing me from gaining any momentum whatsoever.
And now, for some happy thoughts..............
Robert,
I think 1st excerpt was enlightening. Justification is a big problem in the world today. It has come to the point that people will try to justify any behavior. And the suggestions of how to reroute your thinking are perfect. They are quick and to the point.
Thank you for dedicating your time to enhance my life. I have read most of your books, and they have changed the way I live my life.
I believe this will be another great success. There are so many out there who do not know how to handle Negative Emotions. I was drug through a 5 year court battle by someone who did not know how to handle emotions or communicate issues which caused damaging emotions. After all was over, they realized it was a mistake. After several thousand dollars, and fighting my own negative emotions as a result of this, I am now almost back to myself and focusing on regaining my financial equlibrium and setting up goals towards once again moving ahead in the financial game of life. I have a lot of ground to make up for. Looking forward to the next excerp.
