Should go over the mountain
Might go over the mountain
Must go over the mountain
but…………………………….
Words and phrases like should, “have to” , “need to” and “I must” have guilt and resentment written all over them.

“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can………..
It is good that the Little Engine thought about it but what if he had believed he could do it? What if he had said, “I know that I can make it over the mountain”?

Somehow, that feels different. There is a more positive intention and energy behind that statement. How does our use of language engage energy in a positive or negative way?

No, wait………
2012 will be the year you choose to accomplish one of your lifetime goals! I know you can!

Great concept Jennifer. With all the craziness at this time of year, it’s good to take the time and be aware of what we are doing and why we are doing it. That way we can choose to do things that have value and meaning to “why we are doing it”.

Sitting on the fence also HURTS! What makes us continue to hurt ourselves! We can always hop back over the fence if the side we choose does not work!
