Do Words Have an Effect on Our Success?

Words are very powerful and bring either a positive or negative effect to ones mindset. But, many don't realize just how much of an impact simple daily activities have on our minds.....and how these words can either lead us to success or steer us away.

I thought I would check the weather online just a moment ago, since I have an outdoor party to attend tomorrow. All I wanted to know was "is it going to be sunny or rainy", so that I could plan accordingly. When I visited the weather website, these were the headlines:

Portgual BATTLES wildfire
DEADLY flooding STRIKES Europe
Rain FINALLY arrives in B.C.
Hail HAMMERS Saskatchewan
THICK smog BLANKETS Russia

An instant reminder of why I have chosen to have a permanent media fast in my life! No newspapers or daily news. A simple exercise of wanting to know if it is going to rain tomorrow or not, and all these negative messages were flashed in front of my eyes. And this wasn't even from reading the paper, or listening to the news, which bombards people daily with negative conditioning. It is sad that not even the weather is free from all this negativity and complaining! It is either too hot, or too cold, or too dry or too wet....everything is magnified to be worse than it is. This carries on to conversations that people have in society about the weather....people complaining about how hot it is - and these are often the same individuals that complain about the cold in the winter.

With so much depression and anxiety in people's lives nowadays, is it any wonder, when we are bombarded with negativity and complaining from every possible news feed! Society is so conditioned to buy into what the media feeds and most don't realize we can make a conscious choice to actually turn off these feeds.

If there is this much negativity being fed through the weather reports - maybe it is time to ask oneself how much of this daily negative garbage through the media am I prepared to accept into my life and how does it affect my mood, my thoughts, my actions and my results. I challenge anyone reading this post, pick up your newspaper or turn on your local news channel....count the times that ANYTHING positive is reported, and after you have finished really access, for yourself, how you "feel" inside. Do you feel happy, excited, inspired or like anything is possible? Or do you find yourself feeling grumpy, irritated, depressed, unhappy, uninspired, and low on hope.

We absolutely have a choice what we allow our brains to focus on......if your success/results are not where you want in your life....ask yourself how much time you put yourself in front of these type of negative feeds and how much you get in discussion with people around you about the information. It has been scientifically proven that our brains cannot think two thoughts at the same time....so, are your thoughts are leading you to the success you want or leading you away?
