Ever wondered why a tightrope walker always looks keeps his eyes on where he’s heading and never looks down (in much the same way as a Mountain Climber)? Or why a Race Car driver keeps his eyes on the track, even when what’s right in front of him is one mean ass brick wall? Or why we always look at the other side of the road when we’re crossing over and never at the oncoming traffic?
Well, that’s because what we focus on is what we always bring out. For instance, if a Race Car driver were to take a few seconds to stop and admire the new billboards just as he’s about to do a full right at a hundred miles per hour, his car would most likely end up as one sizzling hot pancake. We might even see a whole bunch of spectators running toward it with maple syrup in hand afterward.
Likewise, if you were to turn your head momentarily and look at the bright set of lights heading right toward you, your legs would begin to feel numb and you would instantly get caught up in what’s commonly referred to as a “deer in the headlight” moment. And if the Driver behind the vehicle was totally hammered, then those bright lights would soon be followed up with even an even brighter light accompanied with harps, violins, and trumpets.
So focusing on the negative always results in a negative outcome in each scenario. And when we put those thoughts (either positive or negative) into Words, they become mighty rainstorms that come down on us with full force, in a good way or a bad way. So, if what we verbalized to the Universe is negative, then that rainstorms would most likely be something along the lines of an Acid rain. And if they were positive, then the rains that come down on us would be clean, refreshing, soothing and healing.
One great way to witness the power that our words have on everything around us firsthand is through famous Rice Experiment.
The Rice Experiment entails putting two identical samples of rice into two similar transparent containers and labeling one as “Useless” and the other as “Special”and then and leaving them side by side each other on a refrigerated shelf.
Then what you would do is take out the Rice Container labeled “Special” every morning and say as many nice things about it as you can. So, you could say something along the along the lines of “You are gorgeous”, “You’re Special”,“I really appreciate you”etc.
And then you put that container back in the Fridge exactly where it was and take out the other Rice Container labeled “Useless” and say a whole bunch of nasty things about it. You can even a run a series of “Yo Mama” jokes on it. But make sure that Rice feels really bad.
Now repeat the process over the course of 30 days and then see what each sample looks like under a bright light. You’ll notice that the Rice that you labeled as “Special” is just as fresh and as perky as the first day you started the experiment, whereas the Rice that you labeled “Useless” is fully or in part infested with mold and is discolored.
So, when things aren’t going your way or you’re having a bad day, don’t ever make the mistake of verbalizing those moldy thoughts. Put a spin on it or slather on a few scoopfuls of honey and serve it with a smile.
