The INCREDIBLE Power Of Words
CLARIFICATION: Words, in and of themselves, do NOT have meaning. WE assign the meaning based on our experiences.
So, I’ve been discussing over the last few weeks the conditioning processes we've gone through in life. As a result of this conditioning, we’ve made agreements about ourselves and the world based on the positive and constructive (notice I didn’t say “negative”) experiences we’ve had. Needless to say, words play an instrumental role in our happiness and success wouldn’t you agree? Simply put, one word can have a completely different meaning to five people depending on their conditioning with that particular word.
“Always” & “Never” Generalizations kill confidence & relationships!
“Maybe”, “Might”, “Someday” Provides too much of an out…I mean excuses!
“Won’t” & “Can’t” Don’t sabotage before you even start!
“Problems” Try “opportunities” – much more positive
“Hope” & “Wish” Means you aren’t truly serious about doing the work
Plain and simple, these words are excuses for not doing what you really want to do!
How many times has someone said to you “You always….” or “You never…” when, in reality, those absolutes were not the case? I bet you got ticked off right? However, some people become conditioned to believe and accept just that. “I guess I’ll always be a failure” or “I guess I’ll never amount to anything” and so on. WE MUST BREAK THIS CONDITIONING!!!
Sadly, the words we use internally, the ones that nobody ever hears, can be the most devastating. Over time, our subconscious becomes programmed to believe the statements to be true. In a nutshell, WE poison our own success and happiness L
I could go on and on about this subject and will….in my book “Change Your Attitude – Change Your Life”
For now, this week’s "life work" assignment is to REALLY listen to the words you say during the next week (both internally and externally). Then, I want you to write them down and e-mail me and I’ll help you with the reprogramming process. It's all up to you whether or not you choose to do this exercise, but I guarantee if you do, and you pay attention, your life WILL progressively change for the better!
Until next time, all my best for your happiness and success!

PS: I almost forgot – an amazing word you can begin using RIGHT now is “perhaps” because it immediately opens up the possibilities for success. Rather than saying “I’ll never be able to play piano” try “perhaps if I take lessons and really give it my best I’ll be able to.”
Give it a shot – I bet you’ll notice an immediate difference
