"Tell me I'm wonderful and I'll be wonderful." This old saying is full of powerful truth.
When I look at you and see what is wonderful about you and I tell you I see that, two things are happening to create something more. First, I am focused on what is wonderful about you. When I tell you that you are wonderful, you are focusing on the same. The combination creates a positive energy that drives more "wonderful". It attracts more positive to both of us.
This truth also applies to the opposite. Tell me I'm not enough and I won't be enough. It creates a negative energy that repels us.
The power of the relationships we have lies in what we are sending out. They are a reflection of what we think and say. We control our own thoughts and actions. If you are disappointed with the people around you, change the way YOU are thinking and acting.
Encourage others and they will encourage you. Show gratitude for others and they will show appreciation for you. Applaud their successes and they will applaud you. Acknowledge and understand their pain and they will acknowledge yours. Look for ways to help them and they will help you.
If you are constantly focused on what others need to give you and their failure to meet your expectations, they will keep a safe distance from you. The relationship is not healthy for them or for you. You will be constantly disappointed.
Change your mindset to one of appreciation and gratitude. Show it consistently. Look for opportunities to unlock the power of wonderful. Prepare to be amazed. You will be wonderfully amazing in changing your own life and the lives of those around you.
