What Would Happen If...?

One of my favorite books is “Think and Grow Rich,” by Napoleon Hill. This book speaks volumes showing the proper way to use our creative abilities to live the life that we were designed to live.

If you can just grasp on to the concept of a few keys to change the way you think and speak, there will be a great legacy that will follow you through the eons of time. Wealth resides within you. This wealth is more than money and material things, because it brings fulfillment to your life, and those around you. As a creative being you can tremendously change your world, and possess generational wealth.

Have you ever thought what the mindset of the wealthy is, what makes them so successful? You may say a privileged life, which may be true, but I want to point out something more powerful that we all possess. If you understand how to use these two gifts, you too can live a prosperous life.

Oftentimes, you may find yourself reacting to counteract an unfavorable situation, which suddenly presents itself. Deep within you there may be fear and despair, which are breathing grounds for disappointment, rejection, failure, or feeling like a victim. I am not taking this lightly, this is real. Fear is paralyzing, and will cause you to say, and do things that you otherwise would not do normally.

I once lived that way, until I learned that I had created all those things in my own mind. Unconsciously, I was even speaking what I did not want out of my mouth. When faced with a challenge here are some phrases that may come to mind: “How can I,” “What can I”or“What shall I?”

Yes, you may have guessed your mind and your speech are your greatest assets, or sometimes your biggest enemy. Your mind and your speech are two of the most powerful instruments that you possess.

Take some time to discipline yourself, by using a few quick simple words that will tremendously change your life. These words will cause you to rise above your situation and energize your mind, where you can once again be in control. When you are out of control your defenses are broken-down and you may find yourself compromising or settling for less.

Instead, say “What would happen if…?” This phrase will trigger your sub-conscious mind to go into the wellsprings of your inner file cabinet, and pull out the answers to whatever you may be facing. Another aspect of this phrase it builds courage, and allows you to step boldly into areas you once feared.

Make a decision today to choose your words carefully when speaking, thinking, or even writing. The right words can greatly impact your life, and produce fantastic results.
