I am sure many of you read the title of this blog post, and your immediate response was “Of course!” But being the optimistic realist that I am, I am going to take a counter stance and inform you that 2010 will not be different simply because you say so, but rather the changes will take place once you proclaim that this year will become the foundation for growth for the next 365 days and beyond.

How many of you approach the New Year with frustration because you realize that many of the goals and resolutions which were set 365 days ago never manifested, as all you did was tell yourself that things would be different? There is a huge distinction between telling yourself you can do something versus proclaiming that you will do something. I encourage you to watch the video below because this will be an opportunity for you to witness what proclaiming looks and sounds like in order to get results and implement this strategy in your world.

The human language is one of the most profound tools in our lives because the influence it can have over our entire being is something that is powerful beyond measure. Those who state that semantics are words that can be interchanged with one another do not understand the potential that lies in the sound which is emitted from your lips. Words are like arrows because once they are released they are gone forever. There is obviously duality in this statement because with all of the good that our word choices can create, there is also destruction that could take place when expressed with the wrong intentions. But obviously, all of you know that my passion lies in creating an identity for yourself, and an integral component of this process is your self-talk. It is what you say, that never leaves your lips, but instead, ingrains itself in your mind and is reiterated time and time again. These words have the power to catapult you to an entirely new place in your life, or destroy your vision while leaving you stagnant. This is where the problem lies and how it relates with the New Year, but even more importantly, how you live your everyday life. When we share our New Year Resolutions—losing weight, spending more time with our family, starting a business, publishing a book, etc., these words are leaving our mouth and are now emitted to the world. But if our self talk is in contradiction to our external language, because we subconsciously do not believe that we are capable of accomplishing whatever it is that we desire, then there is no chance that this year will be any different than the last. Words which leave your mouth shy in comparison to the influence that the words of your mind encompass.

When you say one thing, but believe something else, your beliefs will come true, while your words will dissipate. So if you are going to simply tell yourself that this year will be different, than I encourage you to stop before you start because this will result in false hopes and broken dreams. But if you are truly committed and your internal voice matches your external expression, and you adamantly proclaim that this year is going to be different by allowing your words of inspiration to guide you while remaining conscious to the voices in your head; then I am confident that results will be brought into your world by controlling the chatter of your mind.

With all of this being said, I would like to PROCLAIM that 2010 is going to be profound and I hope this New Year brings you everything you have ever wanted and more because you are now pursuing congruency both internally and externally with your thoughts…

How will 2010 really be different than any prior years?
