Words Dictate Life




Everything you say or think will have a tremendous impact on your life. The words you use on a daily basis dictate how you feel, act, and react to things. Tony Robbins talks about the power of words and thoughts he says that "it may be hard to believe that merely by changing one word that is part of your habitual vocabulary, you could immediately change your emotional patterns for life. Or that by changing the consistent questions that you consciously or unconsciously ask yourself, you could instantly change what you focus on and therefore what actions you take every day of your life. Or that by making one belief change, you could powerfully change your level of happiness." Your happiness, your outlook on life is all dictated by the words you speak or the thoughts you put into your head.




Think of it this way, have you ever gone to bed knowing you had to wake up at 5:00a.m. to go to boot camp and you say to yourself "Oh man I am going to be tired in the morning." What happens you wake up exhausted and unenthused about going to the gym and so you just lay back down in bed and go back to sleep. Or "If my baby wakes up one time I am not going to boot camp in the morning." What happens next is your baby wakes up for 15 minutes you get up change the diaper put the baby back down to bed and before you get in bed yourself you cut the alarm clock off. Or "Why am I setting my alarm clock for 5:00a.m. when I don't have to be at work until 8:00a.m." You set yourself up for failure with the words and thoughts you put into your head and then you can't figure out why those 15lbs you want to lose just won't seem to come off.
Start thinking of life in more positive terms and words and see the changes for yourself. Zig Ziglar says that positive thinking and speaking is a key to success and happiness in life. He does not set his alarm clock because alarms are meant for bad situations, you only hear an alarm when something bad is about to happen so instead he sets his opportunity clock and each day he wakes up is an opportunity for him to achieve more and grow happier.
So pick your words wisely and you will be able to achieve any and all goals you set for yourself. It’s as simple as saying “I can”, “I will”, “I can’t wait”, or “Let’s do it” Work on these little things and watch your world change all around you!!!
