Often, we discount the value of our words and our perceptions as well as the impact that our words and perceptions have on our beliefs, behaviors, and ultimately the good or bad things we experience in life.
Under valuing our words and perceptions (especially of ourselves) is one of the most costly mistakes we can make. In reality, the words we speak and accept as fact about ourselves are incredibly powerful. Our words (and the words we accept as true about us) direct our thoughts, our thoughts (how we think) direct the choices we make, the choices we make over time become our habits and cement our character. Our choices, habits, and character are what drive our experiences which then become our life lessons. If we capture this process and harness it for our growth, advancement, and good, our outcome and what we eventually have in life will be order and prosperity. If we don’t intentionally lead this process and allow negative words and perceptions on the front end, the result on the back end will be crisis and chaos.
Our life sentences – the sum of what we say in and over our life literally “sentence” our life.
Your words reflect your identity.
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7a
Your words influence your thinking.
Your life sentences are the limiting beliefs that you accept about yourself that often times aren’t true. We tend to hear negative statements about us and we adopt them as fact. If we intentionally choose to address these limiting beliefs we can begin to see ourselves as who we really are, who God says we are, and live life on another level!
What are some limiting beliefs that you have accepted about yourself that are holding you back? (In example; “I’m just not as smart as other people.” “I’m really not very pretty.” “I’m just socially awkward.” “I’m really not very likable.”)
