Powerful Declarations 2
The word is a force you cannot see, but you can see the manifestation of that force, the expression of the word, which is your own life.” -Miguel Angel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements.
Today’s theme is going to knock your socks off. The subject is declarations.
Declarations are often a beginning. They also sustain and provide momentum for the something new and powerful happening, something that might not otherwise happen.
A dictionary definition of a declaration is that it is something that is avowed or proclaimed. It’s important to understand and be aware of the power of declarations in your communication. All of your work and life accomplishments boil down to speaking and honoring your word - the things you say, promise and put at stake.
A tremendous example is the Declaration of Independence, which we celebrated this weekend - a statement that forged the United States of America into being an independent entity separate from Britain. In the 50’s Babe Ruth declared that he was going to hit a home run for a young boy who was sick in hospital and then did so. John F Kennedy’s famous declaration inspired people to rally “to put a man on the moon and return him home safely” within a decade. Wow!
More recently, President Obama declared that we would have health care reform which has been something that this country has struggled with for years. While not perfect, there is now a new health exchange.
The neuroscience on the subject is that the brain operates based on the programming we give it, primarily verbally. The more we speak with powerful declarations, the more our brains, and the brains of those who hear and believe in us, trigger behavior and commitment to fulfill on those declarations. There is biochemistry behind the notion that if you say it will be so, so it shall be.
I declared that this message would knock your socks off and it has or it will especially if you answer the next question powerfully and follow up with commitment.
So what about you? What’s a goal you are willing to declare will happen? What new actions and approach will you take this time to make it happen?
