I can do it to…but will I?
I was having dinner with my family at the grandparents house and we got to talking about my Greeting Card Business. I was
sharing how I am learning so much from my mentors Alethea Anderson and Jackie Ulmer and how nice it is that they are showing me the ropes. And then I said…
If she can do it so can I
Then my husband (who has been listening to me talk alot lately about the power of influence, law of attraction and word choices) says…
Yes you can do it, but will you?
I stopped dead in my tracks. Not because he was questioning me…I knew he meant it in jest, but because I realized that he was right! I have not been saying and thinking the right thing.
I hadn’t made the “conscious” choice to do what it takes…
Sure I have thought to myself many many times…If she can do it so can I…but I realized I was missing a critical step! You see…when I said that, part of my SUBCONSCIOUS would start fighting with me by saying
no you can’t…you don’t have the knowledge, experience, talent (pick any word and insert here) to do it.
I didn’t realize it until just that moment when my husband said, “Yes you can, but will you?” that I needed to change my words and thoughts. So
now I’ll say…
If she can do it, I choose to
do it too!
It’s a very subtle difference but a VERY powerful one. I am now making the choice to make it happen. And anytime any “negative” thought comes
in, I can simply respond by saying…I choose to do it, so go away! I can learn, improve, change and develop anything.
Make the choice and go for it!
