A little Steve Hardison wisdom, for the soul! - directly from "The Ultimate Coach".
Our world is created by what we say to ourselves (our thoughts), what we say to others (our speaking), the things we write, and the things we do.
People say things all the time to us. How much power it has is completely up to us. Many people let in what is crippling and keep out what is empowering. The world is not a fixed reality, seen by everyone the same way. What we experience is personal, not universal.
Every single behavior we take is based on how we see the world. Serenity comes from being at peace with what is, and eliminating the lie that "this should be different".
I love that he encourages "a document" - to reinforce the deliberately chosen, powerful way of being we design for ourselves every day. A list of declarations or our "I" statements, it embraces the noblest essence of who we are.
He encourages us to speak our documents loudly, frequently and boldly. I start my day with it to create my reality and what I think about and what I talk about each day. Sometimes I lose this, but with faith, I always find my way home.
