As I was contemplating this morning I was struck by the power of the words we use and how they can be limiting or bring Hope into your life.
The very instant you say or think a word claiming a situation, issue or belief you put yourself in the box of that issue, belief or situation.
Take for example a health condition such as being overweight. When you say “I am overweight” you are accepting all the conditions that go with being overweight. You are putting yourself in that box so to speak and will not leave that box.
If you chose to say something that is True such as “I am doing everything within my power to live a healthy lifestyle,” you are giving yourself a chance to live in the unlimited box of possibilities which come with vibrant health.
You are not ignoring the fact that you may be overweight. You are giving yourself the possibility of becoming healthy by focusing on what you want, which is a healthy lifestyle.
This same principle can be applied to other areas, not just your health. It can be applied to your Finances, Family, Love Life and many more areas of your life.
Good luck out there speaking the thinking and saying the truth. Begin by watching what you think and say. You will be surprised how powerful your words are.
Great insight Brian. The words we use has a tremendous effect on us and can effect other people also. When friends at work would ask “How’s it going?” I would reply wonderful. I might not actually be feeling wonderful at that moment. But their reaction was almost always a smile. That simple word would change my mood and theirs. Even if it lasted only a few seconds it was an improvement. Using positive words on yourself all day every day will change your life for good. Great job!
