What would you say to yourself if when faced with a severe problem that could potentially devastate your lifestyle? What would happen if you "did"
first thing that came into your mind? Would you be proud of yourself? Analyze what Jim did and see how you would measure up. Jim had worked hard all his life and had become very wealthy. He had achieved what most people could only dream about. At over fifty years old, he was at pinnacle of his life.
Ah! The Easy Street Illusion!
He owned real estate, yachts, and was in all respects set for life. Then something devastating happened. He learned his accountant had been re-directing his company's assets by sum of over a hundred million dollars. Jim discovered his company was broke.
He had invested his whole life in company. He had no other assets of any kind. The accountant was a long time close friend which made it even more painful.
It was discovered he funneled money into off shore bank accounts and then he hi-tailed it out of country to join up with all stolen money. And, Jim became complete picture of defeat.
Jim began saying to himself, "it's no use", "you'll never overcome this at your age". You've heard those kind of thoughts before. You know when that little voice inside your head starts telling you, "dummy you have messed up now".
Dummy? For Better Or Worse!
Well, that's when Jim's little dummy voice started playing hard ball. That little demon said, "Jim take that gun out of desk drawer and use it". It told him that he was a dummy for letting someone else handle his company assets, and, that was answer to his dilemma.
Jim knew he would be worth a lot more dead. But, something happened that Jim didn't plan on. A close friend, by chance, walked in as he was taking it out of desk drawer.
The first thing friend said to Jim was; "what are you saying to yourself Jim"?
Go ahead, Make My Day!
If you've been reading my articles for any length of time, you know that words are most powerful motivators. Through one word you can motivate others and yourself. If you say "I can" to another person, that is suggestion.
If you say "I can" to yourself, that is self suggestion. Words have meaning. And when speaking words you need to be very specific. For that's when a meeting of minds takes place. The meeting occurs to resolve meaning of words spoken. The wrong word spoken to one's self can cause an inner war and even death.
The dummy words spoken to yourself will interfere with accurate reasoning and cause you to reach wrong conclusions all because you started with a faulty foundation, i.e. "dummy" words.
It becomes a vicious cycle. Your mind becomes like a typewriter going to end of one line, hit carriage return and re-type same line over and over again.
When your conclusions are continually being reinforced from a faulty premise, , your actions are going to be most detrimental to results you want. And, then you may reach into that desk drawer. And, not for a bottle of aspirin either. Some "dummy" words!
If you find following words or expressions frequently coming out of your mouth, or even thinking them in wrong context, then start making a conscious effort to plug em. Never- impossible- only- no- one- can't- nothing- always- everyone. Dummy Words!!
These dummy words are often associated with a wrong belief somewhere and, you're setting yourself up for proverbial bird of paradise to fly over top of your head and drop a little present on you. :>) Don't you get mad at me now.
