What You Speak

Your ability to live a positive life hinges on your language.  It is your inner and outer verbal expression that makes your joy possible and that infuses your life with purpose, meaning and vitality.

I challenge you today to replace your negative thoughts and words with positive alternatives.  and use them as a theme by repeating it to yourself every time you feel negativity creeping up inside you.

-If the grass looks greener on the other side stop staring, comparing, complaining and start watering the grass you’re standing on.

-Sometimes you just have to look back at your past and smile about how far you’ve come.

-For everything you’ve lost, you’ve gained something else.  Appreciate what you have today.  Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful.

-You cannot expect victory while planning for defeat.

-Sometimes you must break a little so you can get a peek inside to see what an awesome powerhouse you are. 

-Sometimes mistakes must be made so wisdom can be earned. 

-Sometimes you must overcome heartache so you can begin to follow your heart again.

-The true measure of your success is how many times you can bounce back from failure.

-Have faith that things will work out, maybe not how you planned, but just how it’s meant to be.

-In life, you usually get what you ask for, eventually, and it rarely comes in the package you think it’s supposed to come in.

-You can find trouble if you go looking for it. Do the best you can to find the peace you need.
