Just Say It!

We say it to young children all the time-"Use words and tell me what you want!"  The child then attempts to articulate their desire so they can be understood and have exactly what they want.  For many adults, this basic learned technique of saying what you want gets lost at some point in life.  Perhaps some choose not to speak certain desires as a result of having too many instances of being disappointed.  Regardless of the reason, there are people all over the country who have forgotten the basic principle of saying what you want.

This weekend I overheard someone speaking on the difference between the passive person who never speaks what they want versus the person who has enough confidence to boldly declare the things they desire.  Their conclusion was if you're passive and never speak up don't expect too much out of life.  It's very true and easy to understand- how can you expect to receive something that no one even knows you want!  It's those who are confident enough to say "I want this" or "I don't want this, "I like that" or "No, this doesn't work for me" who are on track to receiving what they desire.  Even if they don't get an immediate yes to their request, they've spoken what they wanted and have prepared themselves to ultimately be on track to receive a yes someday.  The truth is you will have someone tell you no.  Get over it, it happens. But imagine how wonderful it will be when you push past being uncomfortable and afraid of hearing no and actually let someone know exactly what it is that you want and finally hear Yes!  Bottom line: you'll never know what you can or can't have, until you say exactly what it is that you want.

Words have power.  In the Bible God used words to create and we can do the same.   Our ability or lack of ability to have certain things in our life are directly related to the words we speak.  Today I encourage everyone to move forward speaking those things we desire or don't desire for our lives.  Continue to speak them in confidence until they manifest.
