Words have an astounding power over our thoughts and our feelings. The words we say literally shape our perspective of the world that we live in. But how often do we actually pay attention to the words that we speak? We often hear phrases in our culture that life is hard, life can be challenging, or it is tough.
Now believe me when I say I understand, I use to think and at times still think the same things. I had a belief that in certain areas I thought I was unworthy of the good that I desired. Or that I was not smart enough to succeed in business or that the work I did was spiritual in nature so I did not deserve to be paid, the list goes on, but I think you get the picture. And in these moments I now have learned to lean into gratitude. It is just as easy to speak words of faith words that inspire us, words that help us to reach towards the life of our dreams. Words like; Life is amazing! I am blessed! I am overflowing with grateful! My life is unfolding in amazing and wonderful ways! And my new personal favorite Life can be easy!!! It may sound cheesy or strange, or even challenging at first, but I promise you by simply changing the words you speak and the thoughts you think of yourself the world around you and the view of it begins to shift.
I invite you to start listening to the words you speak, and if you say something that is limiting you and your life just simply stop and correct yourself. Even in mid-sentence. You can say no, that is not my truth and re-phrase your thoughts. Remember you have the power to choose your words. May the words that you speak fill your heart with love, may they be filled with gratitude and lead you to the life of your dreams!
With gratitude,
Wow, this hit me like a ton of bricks today. I work in an office where the normal chat is words that are not very inspiring. And I know it yet do not take the time to change my own words. So thank you I will start making a conscious effort to speak words that are inspiring and remove words of negativity and lack from my vocabulary.
I just saw your book for sale, congratulations, I can’t wait to get a copy and start practicing gratitude.
