When you were a child, did you ever hear an adult say, "Watch your mouth boy, words have power"? Probably yes, and maybe only today he understands what that nice old man meant a few years ago, but even so, he still underestimates the power of every word he utters.
It is evident that the “weight” of each word is different, and today I want to present you with three powerful words that have the ability to overcome discouragement, three words that can brighten your day, three words that consciously pronounced open the door to success and success. happiness.
Do you really want to know these three words? Congratulations on the choice because wanting to be happy and well resolved showed a lot of courage and self-love.
Have you ever faced an unpleasant argument at home and at work, or did you not achieve the desired result in some important test for which you prepared a lot? Have you ever received an answer that disappointed you a lot and made you feel extremely discouraged?
Yea? Well me too! When we are discouraged, we know for sure that something or someone is to blame, right?! Wrong! Being discouraged is a choice: it is our choice.
It's ok Diego! Is he telling me that I get up and choose to feel low and ruin my day? You can change the song because this time you're totally wrong! What can I do if life is hard for me that I'm unlucky, if my boss hates me, my employees are dumb, if anything I do goes wrong, if _________ (you can fill in the space with any excuses you want).
Now I ask you: have you ever stopped to observe what thoughts you feed your day with?
Do you really believe that so many bad words and thoughts have no negative effect on your physical and mental state?
I apologize if I bothered you in any way, I would never allow myself to judge the moment you are going through, I simply want to say that neither you nor I can control external events that do not depend on our will, but we have full power over our thoughts, reactions and words.
The secret is knowing how to use three magic words that can help you think positively, words that you use often will help you see different points of view, words that will be a valuable tool to face discouragement when it tries to dominate your thoughts.
First word: I want
How many times when you're discouraged and focus on the things you don't want?
Where can this attitude take you?
It's very common to hear people who spend their lives mumbling and complaining all the time, but you sure want a happy life full of satisfaction, so you need to put your focus on everything you want because positive energy goes with the intention. positive.
Thinking about what you don't want has the opposite effect: it reinforces and produces what you don't want.
Speak positively, feed your desires, strengthen your motivation and things around you will change, like a touch of magic your dreams until now unattainable will come true.
Second word: choose
Do you choose what to do yourself or do you let other people choose for you?
Do you know what the biggest cause of discouragement and procrastination is? Simply everything we perceive as an imposition (of things or people).
Every time you mentally tell yourself “I have to do this” or “I have to do that” your mind translates as:
– “They are forcing me to do something I don’t like”.
– “I don’t want to do it, I would like to do something else”.
– “If you don’t do what they asked _________” (Insert the terrible thing that could happen).
The time has come to stop being the public of your life, get on stage and start starring in your existence, exchange the “I have to and need” with the “choose”.
Choosing what you want to do is one of the keys to ending procrastination. We can all be in control of our lives and use the power of choice every time we have the opportunity. Knowing this, are you still discouraged?
Always remember what you really want and decide to use the power of choice to achieve your goals, the time is now!
Third word: I decide
Every time you make a decision, you are sending the following message to your brain: "My beautiful, this is what I want, do everything possible to make my way easier to fulfill my desire". Nothing is more powerful than a conscious decision.
Every day when you wake up you always make two types of decisions: some that bring you closer and others that distance you from your goals. Every time you choose to spend two hours typing on whatsapp instead of studying, every time you choose to go to facebook instead of writing an important work report, every time you stay in bed instead of going to the gym to exercise you are decision making. And every decision has a consequence.
Decide today what is important to you and make the decisions that most closely match your goals.
Still sure that success and achievements depend on luck and destiny?
There is one more important decision that can make all the difference: knowing how to say no. If you never have time to take care of your life, do what you like and rest, you probably don't know how to say no to your friends, colleagues, partner, children and family.
Is this your case? If so, don't tell me that you are a kind person because unfortunately your inability to say "no" is a consequence of your low self-esteem and the fear you still have of disappointing others. The judgment of other people is so influential today that it prevents you from taking care of the most important person in your life: yourself.
Remember that if you really want to be a better person for others, first of all you need to be a better person for yourself.
When you really want something, choose and decide how to do it and remember the importance of your thoughts, because as Buddha said: “The law of the mind is relentless, what you think you create”.
And do you control your thoughts?
