Have you ever stopped for a moment and thought about the journey that successful people traveled in order to reach their goals? People may have told them they were crazy or the goal was unattainable, but they remained steadfast in what they believed. If Elon Musk had listened to people when they told him he could not create an electric car, we would have fallen behind in the perpetual innovation race.
It is evident that these people listened to their own self-talk. The voice inside them that affirmed they could have it or they will do it. The Bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue. I think many times we gloss over the power of that verse. It says we have the power to manifest things with our words. This spiritual anomaly was supported through science as a neuroscientist devised an experiment about optimism and positive thought. The study inundated the participant with positive and affirming thoughts about their abilities, creating an expectation of success. When their brains were imaged it showed increased activity in the prefrontal cortex (a region responsible for self-reflection and recollection). The experiment showed that when our brains expect good results our actions align to bring those results to fruition.
"You are either talking and thinking yourself into or out of what you want"
Too often we focus on the negative or what may not happen and we fail to understand that we are in control of the success. Many of us do not realize how pessimistic we are until we are shown our blindspots. The person that will move past us is the one that says "I'm going to be this, no matter what." That's when the body starts to move toward focusing on it happening.
So why can't you have that job? Why can't you have that man? Why can't you have that house? The answer is YOU!
Once you realize the power in your positive thoughts and your affirmations, you spend less time hanging out in the basement of pessimism and start focusing on "making your dream happen" The experiment also showed that people who were primed on optimism paid less attention to mistakes and setbacks. These missteps had no effect on them seeking their goal.
Speak it and go get it!!! Make it happen!!!
