Positive Language Can Bring You Luck - Banish the Word IF By Expert Author: Mark V Hansen
View Summary \| Submitted: 2007-10-27 \| Word Count: 349 words \| Views: 59 view(s)

To be lucky, you have to use lucky language, and lucky language is positive language.

To have positive language, you have to think positively. You have to see, you have to believe in yourself-and then you have to reflect that belief in the words that you use.

Shut off all the media, the newspapers, and the television. Protect yourself from anything that promotes negativity in thought, in word, or in deed. Being positive is key.

People ask me, Mark, how did you prepare for "Chicken Soup for the Soul?"

We taped our success goals on the mirror at my house and posted them in Jack's house, my office, and Jack's office; and then we embellished our list. I had interviewed the 101 bestselling authors because I wanted to be prepared, and I was prepared. One of the authors was Dr. Scott Peck, who wrote The Road Less Traveled, which had been number one for 12 years and had made $40Â million. He told us all these keys to being a successful writer. For example, you've got to do at least one interview every day for the rest of your life.

Everyone thinks they are going to be number one. You guys are going to sell 20,000 books, and that is going to be good; we're going to do cartwheels. Then we did a million and a half in a year and a half, and then 50 million, and then 144 million. Now our goal is a perfect 20/20 vision, because we're prepared to sell a billion books. Now, no one has ever done that before in a human lifetime.

We didn't talk in terms of if, we talked in terms of when!

What's the problem with that one word: if?

If gives you a fall-back position so you can use an excuse of breaking a leg or getting sick or slowing down.

"If" means it might not happen.

If connotes the negative. It lets you off the hook, and you don't get the force you're capable of delivering. But a "when" says I'm committed!

You need to use positive language, and you need to be prepared.

There are two things that go hand in hand making who the person is today. These are confidence and self esteem. If the person is unaware of one's potential or what he or she can become, the term given to someone is a loser. Nobody wants to be called a loser but unfortunately, there are a few in society. These are the people who don't have any ambition or drive in life, can't hold a job and most of the time are unemployed.

Self Esteem is an Acquired Skill

Expert Author: Dr. Mark Baldwin | Submitted: 2008-08-01 | Word Count: 416 | Views: 3

Did you ever wish you could be less shy or that you would spend less time worrying about how you’re perceived by others? Maybe you are all too familiar with the way that self-doubts seem to crop up out of nowhere, beyond your control? While a good deal of stress is caused by worrying about important things like paying the bills or meeting that next deadline at work, recent psychological research has demonstrated that a significant portion of an individual’s stress comes from social anxiety, or the time and energy spent worrying about how one is perceived by others.
