ENERGY IN WORDS

ENERGY IN WORDS

A small and simple thing that is very powerful in each of our lives is our choice of words. The words we use create our world and make us who we are. Words possess power, they create focus and release energy. As we hear the words we ourselves speak, we ensure their fulfillment through our emotions and behavior. Our words define our thoughts, our thoughts generate our emotions, these in turn determine our behavior. We can change who we are by changing what we say. As we enjoy these changes, we can make them permanent through repetition. As we change, our world changes. The simple truth is, as we change our words, we change our world and the way we experience life. 

STRENGTH IN SIMPLICITY

STRENGTH IN SIMPLICITY 

Continuing with the theme, by small and simple things great things are brought to pass. At the core of the concept is simplicity. A small amount of water allows a plant to thrive. Too much water and the plant dies. A little sun and the plant thrives. Too much sun will kill a plant. When solving a problem, keeping the issue simple, the lowest common denominator, allows for rapid and effective problem solution. When we seek to elevate a situation to something much bigger or more complex than it really is, it suddenly becomes much more difficult to resolve.  It is in the simple that there is great strength. 

POWER IN BELIEF

POWER IN BELIEF 

Bunker Bean was a timid weak boy. He didn't have much. His dad was an alcoholic. His Mom had died. When she was alive she had constantly criticized and corrected him. Bunker didn't have any friends. He was raised to believe he was a failure. That he would fail at everything. And it was true, he had failed over and over    

again. Until one day... while out walking he came across a fortune teller. Mesmerized by the idea of discovering his    

fortune he went in. But the fortune teller refused to tell him    

his fortune, instead she told him: "I can tell you who you were... it's true. Before you were you, you were somebody   

 else." She told him: "You are the reincarnation of Napoleon.     You are destined to achieve great things!" This news shocked Bunker out of his apathy. Could it be true? 

He went to the library to read everything he could about Napoleon Bonaparte, the great   

French Emperor. He bought posters of Napoleon and put them up on his walls. Read and listened to everything he could. 

He began to imitate Napoleon's habits, attitudes and behaviors. Years later Bunker Bean was a rich and    

powerful man. He had all the outward signs of a man with    

immense wealth. One day he ran into the fortune teller, she had aged and her gray hair indicated she was no longer working. He thanked her for changing his life.  He told her about how much he and his circumstances had changed. 

To his astonishment she laughed! "I lied to you all those years before just to get your money, you are not the  reincarnation of Napoleon!" 

Bunker was crushed. He sank back in to his old ways, full of   

doubt and disbelief about himself. But fortunately an acquaintance kept saying    

to him: “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he!” Bunker then realised that everyone is capable of being a great achiever if they only believe they are. He went on to become even more successful. 

What you believe is incredibly important in what you can do. 

So too is what you don't believe is possible    

for you. These two forces of belief - 

 *  what you believe 

 and 

  *  what you do not believe 

act like an invisible force that propel you to success or failure. Whether you believe you CAN or you CAN'T ... You are right!
