I was recently in conversation with colleagues and friends who said the most amazing things which I will remember for a long time to come.
One friend said something along the lines of “The language I use creates my reality”.
There are so many ways to expand on that. We mirror and make decisions and respond based on what we receive. For those in a relationship with a bully when attacked, hide within themselves. For some, silence begets silence until a chasm is so deep it’s almost impossible to cross as we lose sight and respect for what that relationship meant.
Attitude and language are contagious.
Many lose sight of how powerful language is. It creates images so strong in someone’s mind they become indelible.
Another dear friend and colleague use the term “The juicy part of life…” and there are so many ways to complete that sentence. The juicy parts of life happen when we least expect them…when we pay attention to what’s in front of us…when we create something on purpose or just because of our ways of being. What is the juicy part of your life?
A great deal of your answer has to be on purpose. If we don’t pay attention what’s juicy, life just continues, however we are separated from the joys of life and settle into routine until that’s all there is….same old same old.
This week I asked a client to pay attention to what he learns every day even in a fast paced, chaotic environment. We need to feel we’re growing, making a difference, and bring some meaning to someone’s life in some way or mean something in someone’s life to truly feel alive.
We get what we give…time, thoughtfulness, support, engagement, energy. And the list continues.
I’ll leave you with this to think about…
