Too often we throw up our hands in frustration, or drop our head in desperation. And what is value of that? Does it rectify problem? Absolutely not! So why do we allow outside influences to affect us detrimentally? Accept that which you have no control over, and your attitude will soar proportionately.

In practice, using spaced repetition, committing these words to memory, when occasion arises, we almost automatically retrieve these words and whole situation looks entirely different.

This is where value of words comes into its own. A while ago, while pulling away from a traffic light, I was too slow for driver behind me. He hooted and showed me to move. My first reaction was to become annoyed, and I was "talking" to him - in no uncertain terms. Then I asked myself what effect does that have on situation? And realizing this I relaxed I continued on my journey. By time I reached my destination, I had all but forgotten incident.

Words can be of real value to us, if we use them correctly. Give it a try, and see effect it has on your attitude, and on you as a person.

As Rudyard Kipling said: "Words are most powerful drug used by mankind."

Similar to this exercise, we can use words in pursuit of our goals. One of first instructions we are given by motivational masters is write down our goal. But, what many of them forget to tell us, is how we should use this written goal. Some say we should read it at least once a day, or that we should place it where we will see it regularly.

Use your written goal with spaced repetition, and success is practically guaranteed.

I read somewhere that Anthony Robbins says more than half people who buy his material, do not even open it! What an absolute waste. Having such valuable material in your hands, and then not even opening it, not to mention not using it.

It is a known fact that affirmations (auto-suggestion, self-suggestion) have produced incredible results by persons who use this technique. All that this is, is repeating something to yourself spaced over a period of time.

Using words with spaced repetition has an awesome power, whether it is to motivate us, encourage us, or help us reach our goal.

----------------------- Make it your goal to... Choose a quote, write (or type) it out, and make it your affirmation. Try this for 21 days and see what happens. It must be 21 days though, and don't skip a day.
