ARE YOU...?

Good
Morning dear students;
Am I right to assume that as you
started and continuously used positive declaration your weeks are improving? If that is the case then I encourage you to
continue.... but if not yet, then I still encourage you to start now...!
Start
with your response to the following question;
HOW ARE YOU...?
I
am sure you agree with me that we ask and answer this particular question
countless times each day...
We
can use just our words to stay happy and positive for as long as we want to...
The
reason I am insisting on HAPPINESS is
because I came to understand that our
minds are most RELAXED and RECEPTIVE
when we are happy than when we are annoyed or under psychological stress.
You
will agree with me that you UNDERSTAND and EASILY RECALL most of any lesson
when the learning atmosphere is RELAXED AND FUN than when you are UNDER
PRESSURE.
If
you really wish to succeed, you need to be continuously happy all the way. I cannot fully explain all this, but I can only
assure you out of personal experience.
I
therefore suggest that now that you are aiming for success, use words that will
move you towards your aim... starting
from the way you respond to the question;
HOW
ARE YOU....?
But
before you answer, ......... remember this...;
Your
day goes the way the corners of your mouth turn.
If
the corners of your mouth turn up (like when you smile) then your day is bound
to also be an UP day (that is; a happy and successful day) but the reverse is
true if the corners of your mouth turn DOWN... it takes the same amount of
effort to turn your mouth up or down... so YOU HAVE THE CHOICE....
I
always remind you that in every point of decision, YOU HAVE A CHOICE... one
reason why I do these write – ups, is to show you the available choices and
their consequences....! That is why I call them INTENTIONAL SUCCESS write –
ups...
I always urge you to INTENTIONALLY do
those things that will make you succeed so that...
You BUILD and SEE your success happening....!
In
this write-up, I am urging you to use your words to INTENTIONALLY PROGRAM YOUR
MIND FOR SUCCESS AND GREATNESS...!
In
an observation on the way people respond to the question; How Are You, Jeff Keller concluded that there are 3
categories of people;
Ø Negative
thinkers,
Ø Mediocre
or average thinkers and
Ø Positive
thinkers.
1) The negative replies
to How are you? include phrases such
as:
“I’m
just there.” “ I am Managing.” “It’s not
my day.” “Don’t ask.” “I’m tired.”
Sometimes
the person’s response starts with a long sigh..... Such responses Turn people OFF!
2) Those in the mediocre
group are a step up from the negative bunch —
but they still have plenty of room for improvement. Here are some of the things they say when you
ask them How are you?
”:
“I’m
okay.” “Not too bad.” “Could be worse.” “I’m Good.”
“I’m Fine.” .... the truth here is that people who use mediocre or average
words will develop a mediocre or average attitude... and get mediocre or average
results. And I know you want GREAT RESULTS!
3) Here’s the positive
approach.
These are the ENTHUSIASTIC people who say:
“Terrific!.”
“Fantastic!.” “Great!.” “Excellent.!” “Super!.”
“Magnificent!.” ....
Those
who use positive words like these have a BOUNCE in their step and you feel a
little better just by being around them!
Repeat these last positive responses and see how the corners of your
mouth turn!
I won’t say any more...
In
my next write-up, I will explain why YOU SHOULD be able to respond with
positive answers even when you don’t FEEL AS TO...!
Ever
since I first told my students about this, we always tease each other with the question;
HOW
ARE YOU...?
I
always defeat them because I have a long chain of positive responses that
swoops them into Positivity.... whenever
they ask me HOW ARE YOU SIR? My non-stop
responses are;.......
(Are you ready?)
I
am Great, Fantastic, Enthusiastic, Motivated, Blessed, Happy, Successful, Energetic,
Unstoppable, Wonderful, Smart, Intelligent, Confident, Shinning the light, Moving
from Glory to Glory....
IN JESUS’ NAME ........ AMEN....
(Even the word AMEN makes the corners of my mouth to
turn UP !)
