How Aligning Words and Deeds Unleashes Personal Power

Have you ever been disappointed because someone told you he/she would do something and then didn’t do it? How did you feel about that person after the fact?

Often times when our words don’t support our actions, there is an underlying reason why. After all, most of us are good people with good intentions. If we are doing or not doing something we’ve said we are going to do, it’s important to figure out why.

Were you afraid of disappointing the other person if you said no to their request? Were you concerned about what they would think of you?

Personal power is achieved as a result of acting in ways you value. You will not feel worthy of receiving all the good things life has in store for you if you are letting yourself down by letting others down.

On your road to achieving more success, it’s important to align your words with your deeds.

Today’s affirmation is a simple challenge to do what you say you will do:

My actions match my words.

Actions really do speak louder than words. I ensure that what I say corresponds with what I do.

I take my promises seriously. I graciously decline obligations that I am unable to fulfill. When I make a commitment, I follow through.

I think before I speak. Giving myself time to reflect helps me to become more responsible and considerate. I take into account my true feelings and the impact that my words have on others.

I investigate any conflicts that arise between the way I speak and the way I act. I evaluate my track record. Mistakes are bound to happen, but I always look for ways to better myself. I learn from my lapses and do better next time.

I earn the trust of others when I live up to my promises.

I take satisfaction in knowing that I am living according to my values. Everything I say becomes more beautiful and meaningful when my actions mirror my words. When I say I value my home, people can see how neat and orderly it is. When I tell someone I love them, they can see the time and effort I invest in our relationship.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.            How do I feel when I fulfill the promises that I make?

2.            What are some additional methods that would help me to think before speaking?

3.            Why is it important for me to be trustworthy?

Today, I pay attention to what comes out of my mouth. I am committed to being true to my word.

 

Use Your Endless Talents, Help More and Become More In the Process

Have you ever met someone who is so talented but they don’t quite see themselves the way you see them? You know that if they could just get a glimmer of how amazing they truly are, everything in their life would be different?

Perhaps you are that someone. Perhaps the feedback you get from others is ‘you’re amazing’ but you don’t quite see yourself that way or feel that way about yourself.

You are talented. You’ve been gifted with talents that are unique to you. There is no one like you on the planet. You were designed for a specific purpose that only you with your talents can fulfill. If you’ve been taking those talents for granted or under-utilizing them, now is the perfect time to make a new choose. It’s time to put those talents to good use in service to others.

Today’s affirmation will inspire you and encourage you to acknowledge and utilize all the talents you’ve been blessed with:

I have endless talents which I utilize every day.

I am blessed with many talents. All talents are gifts that are meant to be used. I enjoy using my talents each day to enhance my life and the lives of others.

I sometimes think I am already aware of all of my talents. However, I notice new abilities from time to time. Anytime I try something new, I am pleasantly surprised to find an undiscovered strength.

Having talent is wonderful, and I am grateful for all that I have been provided. But talents are only valuable if they are used, so I make a real effort to maximize mine. I find new and clever ways to put my abilities to use. I have endless talents which I utilize each day.

I encourage others to do the same. Everyone feels better in the knowledge that they are naturally good at something.

When I find myself wishing I had a specific talent, I realize that I might already possess that talent deep inside. I investigate these wishes fully and frequently discover that I do have those abilities! So now I always assume I have a talent until I have been proven otherwise.

 Self-Reflection Questions:

1.            What are my greatest talents?

2.            Am I utilizing those talents to the best of my ability?

3.            What talents would I like to have? Is it possible that I already have them?

 

Today, I am determined to discover a new ability in myself. I am developing my current talents to the best of my ability. I have endless talents which I utilize every single day.

 

Take Control of Your Financial Future

You know how important financial stability is to achieving any level of success. When you feel uncertain about your financial future, it can make it hard to focus on what’s important to you. Perhaps you’ve had to make decisions about where and how you spend your time that are contrary to how you’d spend your time if you felt financially stable.

Even in times like these when many people are feeling uncertain about their ability to secure their financial future, you don’t have to feel uncertain.

Even when others are struggling to achieve financial stability, you can achieve financial stability.  By taking small steps and making this a priority, anyone who wants to CAN achieve.

Today’s affirmation is a reminder that you can have financial security if you do what others will not do:

I can achieve financial stability.

Financial stability is one of my goals in life. I believe I can attain it honestly by working hard. However, the hard work that is required for financial achievement is easy for me. When I focus on my end goal, the work required to get there seems effortless.

Planning my future contributes to my financial goal. I set targets for 5 and 10 years down the line. I commit to savings and investments based on those targets.

When I set a monthly savings goal, I stick to that commitment. I know that building for tomorrow is more important that taking care of today’s wants.

I allow myself to partake in frivolous spending once in a while. I believe that enjoyment of what I have acquired only encourages me to keep working for more.

My life goals are prioritized based on long-term desires. I remain unperturbed by the achievements of others in the present. The experiences of others are unique. I look forward to my own celebration at the targeted times.

Self-Reflection Questions:

 1.            Do I use the experiences of others to dictate my financial decisions?

2.            What kind of advice do I need to secure my financial position?

3.            How can I enjoy my money now, yet still prepare for my future?

Today, having financial stability means having peace of mind. I continue to work towards financial wellness. Each day, I make wise spending decisions and stick to my savings goals. The life I live years down the road is dependent on the life I live today.
