Timeless Wisdom – Two Powerful Words
By
Today, I’m going to share with you a 2-word phrase that can change your life. You might be wondering what those two words are. Don’t worry, we’ll get there in a moment.
You know, when I ask my students and friends about what they really want in their lives, their dreams, etc., the answers that I often receive are:
I don’t know
I’m not sure
I wish I had one…
(Or they just give me a guilty smile)
These answers are not specific at all and if you really know what you want, how on earth you expect to GET IT?! It just doesn’t make any sense.
Picture this:
You get into a cab and as usual the cab driver will ask you where do you want to go. What if you tell the cab driver this, “I don’t know, just drive and I’ll tell you when we get there.” (If I’m the cab driver, I’ll throw you out on the spot. You’re wasting my time.)
How do you expect to get to the destination if you don’t know where you want to go?
It sounds crazy but that’s how most people leading their lives. Their motto seems to be “life happens to me” instead of “I create my own life and destiny.” Are you one of them? I hope not.
The third answer, which is “I wish I can,” is more specific but it lacks some passion in it. The word, “I wish” means you hope to get something but you don’t necessarily need it.
Here’s an example:
Let’s say you just finished your dinner and for some unknown reasons, you just want to taste a small slice of cheese cake. You want it not because you are hungry. It’s just that if you have it, your life will be better and if you don’t, no big deal to you as well.
That’s what I mean by lacking of passion, when you just wish for something and nothing further.
To reach your goal, you need more powerful words than just “I wish.” If you want to be successful, integrate these 2 words in your life:
The two words are, I WANT!
When you say, “I want,” it means you must have it and there’s no excuse for you not to have it. It’s like oxygen—it’s very essential to one’s existence!
You don’t just wish that you could have plenty of oxygen to breathe, do you? You want it and you must have it because it gives you life. See the difference?
For example:
- I want to be a millionaire.
- I want a healthy life.
- I want to go to gym and workout everyday
- I want to give lots of love to my wife, children and family each and everyday.
- I want to be financially free by 31st December 2010.
- I want to help at least one person a day for the rest of my life.
- I want to get 5 new customers (and keep them) everyday.
- I want my family and I to be happy together.
- I want to take a holiday whenever I want
- And many more…
See yourself as a commander. When you use the words “I want,” you are giving commands to yourself and the universe. Every command must be clear and specific and visualize what it is you want as well. Get yourself a ‘visualization board’ or book and put pictures there of the things you want. Look at this every day and visualize yourself driving the Ferrari or Lamborghini or whatever it is that rocks your boat.
Your words are NOW laws!
The phrase “I want” gives you more authority and motivation to achieve something than the phrase “I wish.”
Try to say these 2 sentences out loud:
I want to be successful!
I wish to be successful!
Which sentence gives you more driving force to be successful? (Share your thought with me in the comment box.)
So, remember to use the word “I want” when you attract the things you want with the Law of Attraction.
Money is magnetic energy. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings
Be clear about the amount of money you want to receive. State it and intend it! Don’t think about how much you can earn, but how much you want to receive.
Fall in love with money. Most people do not love money, because they always feel that they don’t have enough of it.
Visualize and imagine yourself spending all the money you want, as though you have it already.
Speak, act, and think from the mindset of being wealthy now. Eliminate thoughts and words of lack such as “I can’t afford it”, “It is too expensive”. Try ” I could buy it, if I wanted to”
Do not speak or think of the lack of money for a single second.
Be grateful for the money you have. Appreciate it as you touch it.
Make lists of all the things you will buy with an abundance of money.
Do whatever it takes for you to feel wealthy.
Affirm to yourself every day that you have an abundance of money, and that it comes to you effortlessly.
Appreciate all the riches around you, including the riches of others. Look for wealth wherever you go, and appreciate it.
Be certain that money is coming to you.
Love yourself and know that you are deserving and worthy of an abundance of money.
Remind yourself everyday that you are a money magnet, and ask yourself often during the day, am I attracting money now or pushing it away with my thoughts?
Always, always pay yourself first from your wage, then pay your creditors. In that single act, you are telling the Universe that you are worthy and deserving of more.
Repeat over and over every day, “I am a money magnet and money comes to me effortlessly and easily.”
Write out a check to yourself for the sum of money you would like to have and carry it in your wallet. Look at it often.
Do whatever it takes to feel good. The emotions of joy and happiness are powerful money magnets. Be happy now!
LoveYourself!
Wealth is a mindset. Money is literally attracted to you or repelled from you. It’s all about how you think.
Remember with the Law of Attraction…every thought vibrates, every thought radiates a signal and every thought attracts a matching signal back.
So for example if you’re thinking how much debt you have, that thought is going to attract more debt into your life. So rather that concentrate and think about the debt itself, you need to concentrate on your desire of having money come into your life. If there is something that you desire that you currently do not have, and you put your attention on your current state of not having it, then the Law of Attraction will continue to match that not having it vibration, so you will continue to not have that which you desire.











Hi Doug,
That was a really inspiring post. I really need to train my brain to start saying/thinking I want vs I wish. I want to quit my day job! I want to travel. I want to spend more time with my family. I am bad for thinking “I can’t afford it”. I tell myself that on a lot of things.
Take Care, Heidi
