“17 Words That Will Never Fail You”

by | General

I enjoy motivational books, programs, speakers, and topics. Basically any motivating strategy that can inspire me to meet my goals is fundamental to my life.

I am always on a quest to conquer my goals. I keep lists of them, large and small, and I try to accomplish something daily to meet them.

If you use your imagination, and visualize yourself doing something, it is entirely attainable. I keep the following little card in my wallet with the following 17 words and focus on one or more that seem to jump ut at me on any given day:

Choose   Believe   Persist   

Smile      Accept     Prepare

Forgive   Relax       Care

Listen      Act         Focus

Pray         Trust      Change

Wait         Risk

  1. 17 Words

    There are in fact more than 17 words in this blog post, but the title refers to something well worth seeing over at my friend Bobbin Beam’s blog. 17 words, in fact, that she keeps with her all the time. 17 words I think you’ll benefit from …

  2. As a yoga instructor I use four of these words all the time. Focus and Listen to help with alignment…and Relax and Smile during final relaxation. I found that when I told people to smile during relaxation, they were able to relax more. You should try it!

  3. Chris,
    Thank you for you comments. I attend yoga classes regularly and find them truly relaxing.

    I agree with you about smiling. It really helps me while recording. Smiling not only relaxes me while I’m in the booth, but the “smile” translates through my voice and gives a warm read to the copy. 

    Think I’ll try smiling during my next class!Best,
    Bobbin
