While reading a friend’s blog, I was reminded of the power of language.
I am a firm believer that we create our destiny; that in our actions, beliefs, intentions, and lanuage, we determine outcomes. When we imagine something, when we concentrate on something (consciously or unconsciously), when we feel a certain way about something, and when we speak and act in a certain way about something, all of that works to attract that something into our lives.
We can either pay attention to what it is we concentrate on and make sure it is something we want in our lives, or we can just hope for the best. The latter sounds like quite a gamble to me.
Become more conscious about the things you concentrate on, about the things you think about, and about your language and actions. The more positive you are, the more positivity you will attract into your life.
Joel Weldon said, “SUCCESS comes in CANS, Not in Cannots.” Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right!”
I think they knew what they were talking about.

PS. Thank you to Judy Weldon for the now CORRECTED Joel Weldon quote.

Karl – I agree! We become what we believe. I just cringe every time I hear someone say something like “I’ll never be that good.”
Who was it that said “The only time we fail is when we stop trying.” We have to believe to succeed.
To Your Success –

Rick,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, the only failure is giving up, because in every attempt, we learn something.
I’m glad to see you’re getting “on with it.”
All the best,
Karl

Absolutely! We spend so little time really thinking and understanding the impact of the words we use.
