I Do What I Say
Your actions give your words meaning.
There is a note on the bathroom mirror:
I do the things that I say I’m going to do.
The words feel good.
Then the alarm rings.
The room is dark. The bed is warm. The note reminds me to rise. I put my feet on the floor.
We tell ourselves who we are all day.
“I take care of my money.”
“I finish what I begin.”
“I can learn how to do that.”
When we repeat these words, we start living by them.
Autosuggestion means choosing what we repeat.
I do the things that I say I’m going to do.
Our words point us toward the work.
The Next Thing.
When I say, “I take care of my money,” I open the bill.
When I say, “I finish what I begin,” I work on the task in front of me.
When I say, “I do the things that I say I’m going to do,” I get out of bed.
The action can be small. Each action can match the words.
Decide who you want to be.
Write it down.
Say it aloud.
Then do one thing that shows it.
The words choose the direction.
Your actions take you there.
