Have you ever spent a day with
people who mourn a lot.People who see the negative in everything and hardly
talk about positive outcomes.Their jobs distress them ,they feel
overworked,used and underpaid.Their employers are selfish and do not appreciate
them.Their collegues are not spared and when their done with trashing
everything about their employment, they move on to talk about their spouses who
are lazy, good –for –nothing and will drag them down to poverty.Their children
are not good enough either-they are a problem and should be locked up somewhere
and get fixed.Such people will talk negatively about everything from politics
to religion and everybody.How do you feel after spending a whole day with such
a person?You got that right !Tired and very depressed!
The reason why pessimists are
tiring and depressing is because words are very strong and they have a creative
force.Their words become the virus which
infects your your enthusiasm,motivation and invades your peace.Never
mind that they are not happy themselves and will drag the whole world down with
them into the bottomless abyss of their misery ,but notice how their words
affects the environment around them and learn what this means to you.When you
have decided to live an effective life and to succeed ,start talking
differently.
Your talk should reflect the inner
confidence and sense of absolute conviction in you.Your speech should show that
you are a positive person who knows what there are saying and doing.It should
reflect you anticipation of success,the aroma of hope in the face of challenges
should be sensed and the scent of courage ,determination and encouragement
should always carry your words.Wherever you are,those around you should feel
encouraged and always look forward to see you again when its your time to leave
not to be happy to see your back.Talk positively,express that tomorrow will be
better even when it doesn`t feel like it and be enthusiastic when you are
engaging others.Practise doing this and after some time it will come naturally
to.
In my experience,people who behave
like this are some of the most liked and happy people.Their words begin to
affect their efforts and where others struggle, they go through the same tasks
and seem to always get far much better results.Ultimatly,most successful people
are characteristically some of the most positive people and---yes---always talk
differently.Watch and change your talk and start talking differently.
So,do not talk yourself out of
it.Talk different.

Thoroughly enjoyed this piece. Indeed, we are mirror images of our spoken words.
