Last week, we talked about the two most dangerous words in human language, I know. If you’re thinking or saying that, get rid of them because they’re not serving you or anybody else around you. I also shared that I was going to share the two most powerful words in your human language that when mastered will change your life.
Those two words are; I AM. Everything that comes after I AM, creates who you are. I invite you to really listen to your own I am statements that you’re saying daily to see if they’re empowering you or disempowering you. When somebody says, “Oh, I’m always in so much overwhelm.” Is that empowering somebody to really get organized, structured, and systemized? I don’t think so. Opposed to, I am always organized and putting my energy where it matters most that deliver me the largest return on my investment.
Now you may read that empowering I AM, for a few days and not believe it. And then one day you show up in that manner and you will lock it in. If you say I’m always late, you will always be late. I’m just not a good leader. You won’t be a good leader. Find an area of your life or in business that is a challenge or weakness and create an I am, an empowering I am that you could read every day that will shift your identity from negative to positive. It is always your I ams that will serve you either positively or negatively based on what you’re saying.
I’ll give you a for instance. Last year, 2020, we all know was a mess. However, I really felt that I needed to step up to lead my clients out of the noise. My clients, fortunately, followed my lead and all performed in a superb manner last year. In January when I looked back, my coach asked me, what was your biggest learning? I told him, I really realized that I’m a great leader because I lead my clients through the storm, and we’re all here today, prospering and doing better. To the point that I create an affirmation, I am the master of knock it out of the park leadership. I have that affirmation printed on the wall above my closet so I can read it every day. Because of that, my book’s name came from 2020, Knock It Out of the Park Leadership. My experience of 2020 and creating empowering I ams became the title of my book of which I live every day.
I invite you to really think about, be conscious, listen to what you’re saying after the two words, I AM. If they’re not serving you, if they’re not empowering you, you need to make a shift. I encourage you, I invite you to write down some encouraging I ams that empower you when you read them, you step up, shift your identity, to become the person you truly dream of being.
If you need a little assistance in this area, I’d be happy to work with you.
