words are powerful

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.

I have noticed that I am talking less and doing more. Of course I’m a talker and I love conversation but I find myself having less and less meaningless conversation. Our words are powerful so I am learning to be mindful of them. I think we often use chatter to fill the void. When we talk about things that are gossip it doesn’t serve us. It makes us distant and by the end of the conversation we are left empty.

I think the first step in creating a life that you love is to change the conversations you are having. Words are powerful and from words you create action. If you want to go after something then first you must be able to speak it. Do you know what you want? Do you have someone who supports your ideas? Asking for support is very important. We all want to grow. We all want to make the most of our lives. In order to do that you have to be willing to take steps, willing to change old habits, willing to ask for help and willing to be honest with yourself.

Life can be anything you want it to be. I choose an amazingly, abundant, peaceful life overflowing with love and kindness.

Today I am grateful for that realization.
