4. The Vocabulary of ultimate Success
With words we not only create emotion, we create actions, and from our action
flows the results of our lives. If you want focus, all you need to do is ask the right
questions, using the right words.
The words you habitually choose also affect how you communicate with yourself
and therefore what you experience.
5. People with an impoverished vocabulary live an impoverished
emotional life: people with rich vocabularies have a multihued
palette of colors with which to paint their experience, not only for
others, but for themselves as well. Most people are not challenged,
though, by the size of the vocabulary they consciously understand,
but rather by the words they chose to use. Many times, we used
words as shortcuts, but often these shortcuts change us emotionally.
6. To consciously control our lives, we need to
consciously evaluate and improve our consistent
vocabulary to make sure that it is pulling us in
the direction we desire instead of that which we
wish to avoid.
