momentum in speech

There’s no better way to create momentum in your life than to do what you say your going to do. Even for the little things, when you tell someone that you’re going to do it and come through and actually do it, you get energized, you build trust, you create a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence.
Try it. Start small and tell someone today what you’re going to do today. Then, tomorrow tell them that you did it. Tell them again what you’re going to do and come through again.
Leadership starts with yourself and if you can’t be honest with what you know you can do, then no one else is going to trust you, let alone follow you or be inspired by you. Pretty soon, if you knock out the small things, you’ll be able to start stepping out there and taking a chance with what you say you’re going to do. And, if you have the momentum from the small things, you might surprise yourself and come through on the big things.
This all goes back to being in alignment with what you’re saying, feeling and doing. If any of those is out of synch, you’re going to be fighting an uphill battle with yourself. I’ve found that the feeling part is usually the straggler of the three. It’s amazing how focusing on being clear with the other two can bring that one back in alignment. If I’m not feeling excited or motivated for a particular project, doing something physically that mimics excitement can easily bring about the feeling. Or, simple statements and affirmations spoken with excitement can bring about the feeling as well.
Make it easy on yourself and start small with the things you want to do. Your energy around your passions can easily snowball when you start to see the results from doing what you say.
Say what’s on your heart. Feel the support of the universe. Do great things today!
