The Power of Words and Thoughts

The words we speak and the thoughts we think are much more POWERFUL than most of us realize. We carelessly use words and hold thoughts without realizing the effect they have upon ourselves and others. Or, we can use our words and thoughts to make magic in our lives. One of my goals in 2008 is to be more careful with my words and thoughts and to use my words and thoughts to create the life I really, really want.

The words that we speak and the thoughts that we think can change our physical reality. "Hado" is the phenomenon brought to light by the work of Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto. "Hado" refers to the subatomic vibration which exists in all matter and its basis, the energy of consciousness.

Dr. Emoto is best known for his study of water and how words affect its physical reality. Water samples were subjected to various words, spoken and written, as well as music, and then frozen and looked at under a microscope. The results were staggering. Dr. Emoto says,

"Words are the vibrations of nature. Therefore beautiful words create beautiful nature. Ugly words create ugly nature. This is the root of the universe.”

Here are two examples of water crystals subjected to the following words: "I will kill you" followed by "Love and Gratitude."

If words and thoughts can have this effect upon water, what effect do they have upon our lives, relationships, goals, and dreams? I wonder....

• What words and thoughts do I hold in my mind each day?
• What effect do the words I speak to others have?
• What effect do the words I use in my own "self-talk" have within my body and life?
• How can I use my words and thoughts to manifest my goals and dreams?

Taking a Risk Is Hard To Do

No matter what you do, there are always going to be risks associated with it. One of the hardest things to do in life is to take risks. When it comes to money some people say they are not willing to risk their financial security. They find risk-taking to be frightening.

KEY: Everything you do in life involves risk.

Think about it. Even if you decide to do nothing, there is risk in that! You cannot escape the fact that a life without risk is impossible.

You have probably seen a clip of Wildebeests crossing the Crocodile infested rivers in Africa. The Wildebeests gather by the thousands waiting to cross. If they avoid the risk and stay on this side of the river they face starvation. If they take the risk, plunge into the water, they risk being eaten alive. But getting to the other side is necessary for their survival. The eventually face their fear head-on and take the plunge.

"But what if I fail?" - What if you do? You can start over in a new exciting adventure. Maybe that's the wrong question. Maybe we should be asking, "What if I succeed?" The first question focuses on fear; the second question focuses on possibilities.

If you are worried about money, you are probably focusing on fear which makes you feel powerless to change your situation. The key is to change your mind-set and begin focusing on possibilities which creates new solutions.

Remember the key to the Law of Attraction: What we think about comes about. If you focus your thoughts and emotions on failure, that's what you'll get. However, if you focus your thoughts and emotions on possibilities, the universe will open the doors to success.
