What Words Should I Use to Achieve My Goal?

Achieving goals, manifesting what we want, Law of Attraction (aka: LOA)... aren't those the hot topics lately? But along with the buzz is confusion.

One of the stumbling blocks that readers share is about writing out goals. One reader once wrote, "I've heard that I shouldn't say 'I want' in my affirmation or goal statement, as that means I will be coming from a place of lack (wanting). Is that true?"

After years of studying personal development, human behavior, and peak performance, I certainly was exposed to very different opinions and advice on how to reach your goals.

To best answer this question I'm going to give a brief lesson: Law of Attraction 101.

There has been a lot of buzz about Law of Attraction, specifically through the movie "The Secret." Here is how I understand Law of Attraction (LOA).

First, it exists whether you believe it or understand it. Similar to the Law of Gravity, in that you don't have to believe the apple will fall to the ground from a tree, it just does. Secondly, LOA is based on the understanding that you get what you consistently think about. What you focus on, you attract and manifest into your life.

The important point that is often missed when talking about LOA, is that LOA responds to your feeling about what you are thinking about and your feeling about the words you are saying. tax incorporated feeling then emits a vibration, which then LOA matches.

Would an example help?

Have you ever seen a child jumping up and Wine with excitement in front of an ice cream counter on a hot summer day? He or she is jumping up and down, clapping their hands: "I want chocolate chip!" The child's feeling at that moment is pure joy and happiness and expectation. Vibration? Positive.

Now suppose mortgage refinance best rates child is desiring the same thing, whining and complaining, "I waaaaaaaant chocolate chip!!!" They are seeing others around them have what they want and you Baggy Pants and the Nitwits hear their pining misery a block away! What vibration are they sending? A negative one. They are using the same words but sending out a completely different feeling and vibration.

If the words you are using in your affirmations or goal statements cause you to feel bad, that's the vibration you are giving off no matter how many times you repeat it. If the words feel comfortable to you, you then are emitting a positive vibration with your goal or affirmation.

Principle #3: Choose Words that Feel Good To You

So here is my recommendation: if the word feels good when you say it or think it include it in your affirmation or goal. If not, don't. You can always choose another word/s that feels better. It's that simple.

Here are some alternatives for the word, "I want:"

I now have___________________
I'm in the process of being________
I love thinking about (your goal)
It feels wonderful to now have_______

Tweak your affirmation and goal statement until it tastes as good as eating a chocolate chip ice cream on a hot summer day. You'll feel good that you did!
