What World Are You Creating?

THERE’S a saying that goes…“Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt you”, sometimes said by parents to their child to help them deal with bully name calling. Parents were trying to tell their children to walk away and don’t let what bullies say bother them, because they’re only words. The truth is that words spoken out loud can indeed hurt, not only emotionally, but physically as well. They can also change your life for the better, or for worse depending.

Let’s do this quick exercise

Say something negative out loud. Pay attention to how you feel inside….

Now, say something positive out loud. Now how do you feel?

"No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world." -John Keating

I think we’re all pretty sure that thinking negatively makes us feel bad and the opposite is true about thinking positively, but if you want to really make a change in how you physically feel, then actually speaking positive words out loud can change and affect your physical well-being. If you want to know how your life and health will be in the future….pay attention to your words being spoken today.

Speaking positive words also apply to entrepreneurs and business owners. You must make conscious effort to train yourself to speak right about yourself and your business. Speaking lists of good things about yourself will build your confidence and emotional feelings inside.

If you own a business, choose to say:

•      I will solve every issue that comes my way

•      Our customers will be given the best service.

•      I will continue building the best team.

•      I will provide an atmosphere of good purpose and services that make customers better off for coming.

•      I will succeed in my purpose and therefore become a lender and not a borrower.

•      I will make the world a better place.

•      I will succeed!

When we speak about our businesses, in a positive sense, we are doing something to help ourselves. The point is, the words we speak out loud become physical reality.

As I frequent public speaker I have come to also learn to speak positively about myself and my activities before a speaking engagement. This both warms me up and puts me in the zone for a successful outing.  Logically, it just makes sense that we generate how we feel, physically, by the words we choose to speak.

The key to learn here is that saying positive words out loud will make us be happier, live better lives, and become more successful. Speaking positively is by no means denying the challenges confronting you or burying your head in the sand, like the ostrich, no, it is generating a higher energy to deal with the issues you face. There is indeed power in your tongue and words. This is a major secret of successful people who understand and apply this ancient principle.

I for one, choose to train myself, everyday, to stop this lifelong habit of allowing negative thoughts to become reality by speaking them. I choose the logic of speaking good words. I choose to give voice to positivity, happiness and success. What about you?

And like Joel Osteen will say, ‘if you have nothing good to say, be quiet’

This week, and indeed, henceforth, always say something positive out loud. Create your world by your word.
