Haven’t you heard it said over and over, “You become the combined average of the five people you most associate with.” The kicker is that one of those five people is more important than the other four combined… YOU!
Per author and national speaker, Michael Clouse:
“Because of your internal dialog (that mental conversation, or self-talk, you have going on inside your head), you speak to yourself at the rate of approximately 9,000 to 18,000 words per hour—all day long! That is probably more internal conversation than the combined external conversations with your four other associates combined!”
The message is clear: 1) Play close attention to those with whom you associate, and 2) Pay closer attention to your self-talk…those 9,000 to 18,000 words per hour.
Clouse advises, “If you will change your thinking (and occasionally with whom you associate), you will change your life!”
Anthony Robbins says it another way:
“The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.”
Abraham’s message today says:
“Things are coming into your experience in response to your vibration. Your vibration is offered because of the thoughts you are thinking, and you can tell by the way you feel what kinds of thoughts you are thinking. Find good-feeling thoughts and good-feeling manifestations must follow.
Make a decision to look for the best-feeling aspects of whatever you must give your attention to, and otherwise look only for good-feeling things to give your attention to—and your life will become one of increasingly good-feeling aspects.”
Perhaps Mark Twain said it best:
“I have been through some terrible things in my life – some of which actually happened.”
Hmm, best we keep our ear to the ground to catch our own self-talk?
