Have you ever noticed the chatter going on inside your own head? The constant barrage of images and words that stream by like a never ending movie? What are the words that play over and over inside your mind? Are they inspiring, uplifting, empowering? Do they encourage you to be brave, to take risks, to go big? Or do they belittle you, downplay your gifts, tell you you could never accomplish that?
The words we repeat to ourselves, over and over, day in and day out, have incredible power in our lives. What we think about is what we bring about. There is a magic in words….and that magic can be used to bring us all the gifts we can imagine or to create a life of lack and little happiness. How we speak to ourselves is the magic behind the actuality of life.
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Albert Einstein.
How do you judge yourself? In other words, what words do you say to yourself? What words create your beliefs about yourself? For this is the path to enlightenment with regards to the success and happiness in your life. Just listen to your mind, hear what it is saying each time you consider doing something new or considering a different occupation. For the words you speak to yourself about these possibilities will be the creator of your reality.
If you are uncertain of how you speak to yourself, all you have to do is listen. But an even easier means of uncovering your self talk is to look at your life….to look at your results. What do your relationships look like? Are they happy and fulfilled or do you find yourself without friends or mates, blaming your woes on their failings? Are you successful in your career? Do you have the wealth you desire? Is your marriage on fire and your family smiling?
To understand how you are speaking to yourself, all you have to do is observe. And if what you find is not the life you dream of….you have the power to change it. All you have to do is change the words you use, change the dialogue in your head. If you want to have an amazing marriage, tell yourself you have an amazing marriage. If you want to travel the world, tell yourself where and when you will travel….and it will happen. If you want to have the financial means to help others, when and how you desire, speak the words of wealth to your mind.
Most of us tell ourselves we should feel guilty to want more money. Rich people are greedy and if we choose wealth, we too must be greedy souls! We tell ourselves we aren’t pretty enough to date that man or successful enough to ask that beautiful woman on a date. We berate our bodies and belittle our minds on a daily basis….and wonder why we don’t have all the riches.
“Greatness is attained only by thinking of great thoughts.” Wallace D. Wattles
So, if you want a life of greatness, beware the words you speak to yourself. If you find your life is not what you desire…..monitor the words your mind whispers to you, and change them!
