4 Magic Words To Use Daily

As an incredibly resourceful person, you possess two amazing resources that make up the foundation of your mental strength questioncreative energy. Whether or not you are conscious of it, you are currently utilizing one of these resources to generate everything you presently experience in your life – negative and positive alike.

Begin using these two resources collectively, and you’ll harness a extremely creative force inside you to manifest your heart’s desire. Before you can do that, however, you’ll need to use the 4 magic words I’ll share with you in a moment. First, let’s talk about the powerful tools to which I’m referring.

These tools are attention and intention.

Attention is defined as: “Concentration of the mental powers upon an object.”

You use attention any time you focus your thoughts on something, whether it’s an object, a person or even another thought.

One Law of the Universe states whatever you focus your attention on; your creative energy flows there are as well. In other words, what you think about, you create in your experience.

The second tool….

Intention is defined as: “An aim that guides action.”

Intention is the aim, the object or the reality you want to bring into your experience.

Intention is “the object of your desires.”

When you focus your ‘attention’ on what you want and make it your ‘intention’ to create it, you take hold of the creative force that can literally move mountains.

Alexander Graham Bell spoke of this force when he stated the following:

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.”

The 4 magic words that position you to use this creative force is your own life are…

“What do I want?”

Sounds simple, right? It is. But it’s not always easy to know what you want.

Further, when you actually decide what you want, you face the challenge of asking for AND receiving it.

Also, you’ve faced those times when you actually got what you wanted, only to discover it wasn’t as great as you expected.

You end up just accepting and tolerating whatever life throws you, whether in the form of your career, your mate, your income, your living environment, etc.

Then, of course, in our state of “tolerating life,” the more we focus upon what we don’t want, the more of it we experience.

In the words of fitness guru Susan Power…

Stop the insanity!”

“What do I want?” Begin using these 4 words each day. As Stephen Covey says, “write it down, asterisk it, and underline it.” If you ask it, the answers will come. Keep asking until the answers do come.

See, you will always get something, even if it’s only more of the same. My good friend and fellow Coach, Bryden Manning talks about “Christmas morning relationships.”

As a child, when you awoke Christmas morning, you knew you’d have stuff under the tree. But if you didn’t make a list of what you wanted, there’s no telling what you’d get.

It works the same with every area of your life. Every day is Christmas morning. You’ll always get something. Have you made your list yet?

“What do I want?” Just say it out loud with me.

“What…do…I…want?”

If you have a hard time with this question, consider taking a class or work with a coach. It’s too important a question to ignore any longer. It’s your life, after all.

Start today. Say it…”what do I want?”  It will give you tremendous personal empowerment.  It will help you increase your personal performance and it will take mental strength to decide what DO you really want!  

To the extent you get clear on the answer to this question; to that same extent can you focus your attention on it and make it your intention to create it.

I’ll leave you with the simple and direct words of Walt Whitman, who said “claim your own at any hazard.”

It’s your life! Make it great.
