On this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Len sits down with Tiffany Maly to discuss how success is 20% strategy and 80% psychology.  When you master the state of your emotion, you free yourself from the chains of suffering and open your mind to the door of insight that leads to possibility.  Pain is inevitable.  Suffering is a choice.  When combined with proven strategies that streamline systems, maximize profitability and empower leadership, you are well on your way to a life of meaning, purpose, and abundance.

Takeaways from this episode includes: 

1. Emotion is Energy in motion.  Everything you think or do is a cause set in motion that  produces some kind of a result.
2. Stress triggers 1 of 2 default emotions: anger or sadness.  The choices we make when consumed by these emotions determine whether we stay stuck because we allow fear and disgust to creep in or push through towards the future. To create a better state emotion, we have to interrupt the pattern of the emotion we're stuck in.  We do this in 3 ways:
3. Change our physiology
4. Change our focus/beliefs--Focus on the present. See things as they are, not worse than they are.  Then see things better than they are.  And focus on the future.  It's a progression.
5. Change our language--words create meaning.  Meaning creates impact.  Henry Ford, "If you think you can or think you can't, you're right."
