All thinking people know that every form of outer communication, including writing, speaking and body language, is crucially important.However, this issue deals with a topic far more important. It is about a little known ''secret.'' You cannot be a successful communicator without this skill. Once understood, it can propel you to an unprecedented level of happiness and success.
As we think in words,
real key to success and happiness lies within words you choose for your "self talk."
The implications of this personal dialogue are enormous.
Why?
You are master--the author--of every single thought, giving you absolute control over your emotional state.
Imagine for a moment how power and control you would have in life if you could actually ''fool'' your subconscious at any time into feeling you most desire! This discovery changed my life. And, if you take it to heart, it will also change yours.
Once you master art of positive ''self talk'' it will no longer be important what happens to you in life. What counts far more are words you choose to ''frame'' event in your mind.
Most ''self talk'' is extremely negative. Indeed, it's rare to find a person who is positive most of time, as I'm sure you'll agree.
The impact of this negative ''self talk'' will, of course, severely hamper or sabotage what you achieve in business world.
A typical sales message that I create, such as an ad or sales letter, usually contains at least 1,000 words. Contrast this with number of words which go through our minds during our inner dialogue.
The experts tell us each and every moment typical human being uses approximately 1,000 words in their ''self talk.'' Imagine what this can do to your emotional state if majority of words and thoughts are negative.
Certain words can quickly catapult you from poverty to great wealth. Well-chosen words can persuade, lead, impress or attract people. However, other words can turn people off, sometimes forever.
I've been thinking recently of examples of what words can actually do in and to your life.
Here is a short list of them.
Depending on words you choose, you can:
* Criticize or support your mate * Discourage or inspire a child * Be invisible to others or have others eager to talk with you * Pass judgment or accept a friend * Take for granted or recognize a valued employee * Feel depths of despair or unlimited joy * Facilitate loneliness or passionate romantic love * Appeal to one's intellect or touch someone's heart * Make an enemy or a friend * Feel blue or joyous on a rainy day * Quit trying or never give up on motivating yourself to greatness * Accept someone’s erroneous judgment or ask for their love and support * See yourself as a hopeless failure or an outstanding success * Dream small or dream big and achieve either one you choose * Live in poverty or acquire anything you want in life * Feel constantly tired or full of energy * View yourself as a weak, unattractive person or as a handsome or beautiful, healthy human being, and be absolutely right either way * Picture yourself helpless and defeated or as a successful entrepreneur that cannot be denied * Persuade others to go to war or march for peace
