This experience helped me remember just how important it is to watch our words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Our words should be full of faith, not fear. Empowering phrases, not life-draining expressions. Affirmations of accomplishment, not declarations of defeat. Words have the power to create! <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>What are you creating with your words right now?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Although this conversation goes beyond money, let&#8217;s keep it focused to the words we use regarding money.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, words alone won&#8217;t do it&#8230;but they help. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ve all known people that say things, but you know there&#8217;s no faith behind those words. They say it but they doubt it at the same time. If you don&#8217;t believe it can happen, you can speak until your voice goes hoarse, and you&#8217;ll never see a positive change.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>You must believe that principles govern for your words to work.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Once you can speak with more power, change the words to reflect abundance and possibilities, not scarcity and limits.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For example, instead of saying, <em>&#8220;I can&#8217;t afford it&#8221;<\/em>, declare, <em><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m getting closer to purchasing that&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> or <em><strong>&#8220;How can I afford it?&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> Can you see how that actually feels better?<\/p>\n<p>Another example: &#8220;We can&#8217;t buy that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Instead say, <em><strong>&#8220;We choose not\/don&#8217;t want to buy that&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> or <strong><em>&#8220;There are other priorities that we would rather spend our money on right now.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Why? Because if you REALLY wanted to buy it, you would find a way. <strong>Remove the words like &#8220;can&#8217;t&#8221; or &#8220;have to&#8221; from your vocabulary<\/strong>. &#8220;Have to&#8221; implies you have no choice. THERE IS ALWAYS A CHOICE!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><em>How can you be financially &#8220;free&#8221; if you&#8217;re always saying you &#8220;have to&#8221; do certain things? That&#8217;s how people become broke millionaires.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The next time you find yourself talking about money, pay close attention to the words you&#8217;re using. When you declare something in word (even silently in your own mind),<strong><\/strong><strong> your subconscious mind will do whatever it takes to be right. If it&#8217;s going to be right, why not give it some words that will dramatically improve your life?
