Language and Linguistics

“Act as though it is impossible to fail” -Ashanti proverb

Language helps to create our reality……….

“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen”. Frank Lloyd Wright.

What reality do you choose to create for yourself?

* Is the glass half empty or half full?

* Will you try or will you just do it?

* Are you expansive or restricted?

* Are you totally fed-up or a little peeved?

* Do you have a `can’t do’ attitude or a can do?

* Do you see the impossibility or possibility?

* Do you see the improbability or probability?

* Do you believe there is no way or find a way?

* Are you undeserving or deserving?

* Do you have an 'I don’t know what' or 'I’ll find a way to do' attitude

* Do you see the obstacle or the goal?

* Are you focused on the negative or positive?

* Do you accept responsibility for or give it to someone else? your reality

* Are you focused on why things or how they can? will not work

The truth is; language creates our reality. The extent to which you believe something is possible is the extent to which you will `pull out the stops’ to make it happen or not as the case may be. There in lays the power of belief. Choose your language wisely and make sure it is a language that serves you in the way you wish it to.

If you believe you can, that’s true. If you believe you can’t, that’s true too. Such is the great power of belief.

"You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind." Dale Carnegie

Create a vision of yourself a year from now. What are you doing? What have you achieved? How do you feel? What are you thinking? Where are you? What sorts of things are you saying to yourself to encourage yourself on to the next level. Who are you being in the world?

Once you’ve created this vision of yourself, in minute detail and in vivid colour. Bring this picture of yourself even closer; bring it inside yourself so you can actually feel it; experience this vision of yourself each and every day. Spend several moments each day in this picture of yourself. Continue taking the actions you need to take to make this picture of yourself even more of a reality. Embrace this picture each and every day as your true reality, step into this picture of yourself and see and experience the transformation.. Here in is the empowering might of self-suggestion.

……“An old Latin proverb says, “Believe that you have it and you have it”. Belief is the motivating force that helps you achieve your goal”. Claude M. Bristol, The Magic of Believing.
