Your Words Determine Your Future.
Before you even start reading this...stop and go look at your personal Facebook page. Put on the eyes of someone that doesn't know anything about you. Now start scrolling...what do you notice? Would you like yourself? Would you ask yourself to coffee? Would you do business with yourself? Would you trust yourself?
These are all questions that people are answering about you from the moment they hit your Facebook page! So it's time to take what we put out there a little more seriously.
“Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.”
Every day when you get up, you're given a choice. And here's how this works for me...I simply choose to use my words to talk about what I am for rather than what I am against. And I use them to lift others up instead of tear others down.
That is it. Plain and simple. Most of the time, my problem isn't my words, it's the motives and emotions behind the words. Hurt people hurt people. (I know it's super cliche, but it's true)
If you struggle with the words that come out of your mouth or the words you choose to share (and this isn't in reference to cussing, this is different)...here are three straightforward ways to check yourself before you wreck yourself!
1. Is what I'm about to say going to build others up? If it's not, why say it?
2. Who am I attracting? Look around you. Are they positive or negative people. You attract what you are.
3. What do you read, watch and listen to? What goes in must come out. I'm a firm believer that if you absorb a lot of dark, dirty, bad, rough, negative content, there's nowhere left for it to go but out.
SPEAK LIFE to those around you. Life is too short for negativity. And watch...if you take this to heart, you will become sought after within your sphere. Because being positive and encouraging puts you directly in the minority. Your business will grow because of it. Your family will grow because of it. You will grow because of it. Nothing around you can change until you do. Let it start with the words you choose to say.
