I talk often about framing: putting your desired outcome into the best possible light for both parties involved in a negotiation. But it hit home with me just a week or two ago: how am I framing my desired outcomes to myself? The power of words and intention cannot be denied. The words you choose to repeat to yourself and others will determine the precise destiny you will move toward in your life.
This can be a scary thought. But let’s flip this and make it an opportunity to soar towards the life you want most. All you need to do is master two simple steps and you will be on your way.
1. Consciously remove the words “try” and “can’t” from your vocabulary. Learn to call yourself out in the moment. Back up and then say, “I’m working on…” You can say “I won’t” or “I don’t” but screw the word “can’t.” It’s a blocker, a distractor from the life you want.
2. Believe in where you are going and see yourself there; not where you are or (more importantly) not where you have been. As soon as you say I AM… Everything begins to change instantly for you. Remember that the words you put after the statement I AM will shape the reality of your destiny.
Leverage this weapon for all its worth and I look forward to crossing paths with you all as you elevate towards greatness!
I AM…
