so much fun together!” With a goal like this, your
subconscious and your intuition are going to show
up more often, and in more obvious ways, to point
you toward steps you can take to make those statements true.
Our words are powerful tools that help us to receive
whatever we describe. Unfortunately, we often give
voice to what we don’t want instead of what we do
want, and then we’re surprised and disappointed
with the results. For example, I know a saleswoman who often says things like, “I really hope that
I’m not late for my appointment with ABC Company on Tuesday. They are a huge potential customer
and I don’t want them to buy from my competitor.”
Do you see anything out of the ordinary in these
statements? Perhaps not, since many of us have
learned to speak like this. We spend time talking
about what we don’t want as a normal part of our
speech. Then, we’re surprised with the results. In
this example, the saleswoman is most likely going
to be late for her appointment with ABC Company since that’s what she’s focused on, and she may
lose the sale to one of her competitors. Her subconscious recognizes that she’s focused on being
late and her customer buying from a competitor.
Accordingly, she may act in a way that makes those
statements true. This is not what she really wants
to happen.

To enable her subconscious and intuition to help
her, a more powerful statement would be, “I am
so grateful to be on time and early for my appointments. I’m going to arrive at ABC Company 15
minutes early for my meeting, and I’m excited for
the opportunity to sell our products and have my
customer receive great value in return.” With statements like these, her subconscious and intuition
will show up in a more obvious way to help make
those statements true. She might get a strong, unexpected thought to check the traffic report before
she decides on a route to the appointment and
avoid a terrible accident and backup. She may feel
an intuitive nudge to get ready sooner than she
normally does so that she can leave earlier. She
might receive an email or phone call that gives her
insight into her customer’s needs so that her presentation can be designed to be more valuable.
We can choose to use our words to achieve more of
our goals in 2016. To do this, follow the three simple steps below:
1. REWRITE YOUR GOALS DAILY WITH GRATITUDE AS THOUGH YOU’VE ALREADY ACHIEVED
THEM.
Describe the outcome that you want to experience and be grateful in advance for the achievement. For example, “I am so grateful that I am
