The most important think in life is to stop saying "I wish" and start saying "I will." Consider nothing impossible, and then treat possibilities as probabilities.
David Copperfield
There is an inbuilt power to each word we use to motivate us. We may not know consciously. But our unconscious mind will know this. Even without our being aware, we are programming ourselves and all our external behaviour is a result of this internal programe.
Just recall the last time you climbed a mountain either by foot or by a conveyance. The steeper the mountain the more should be your effort level. Your effort level should be supported by your physical stamina. Your physical stamina should be supported by your mental stamina. In an automobile, when you press the accelerator, more fuel and air is rushed to the combustion chamber of the engine compartment and fired. This accelerates the engine and consequently the automobile surges forward. This principle is very relevant when it comes to tapping our hidden potential. Whenever we want to strain our physical body, our mind has to be `ignited'. For this our inner dialogue plays a very important role.
When we say `we wish', a certain amount of mental energy is released. But when we say `we will', the mental energy that is released is much more. You have to experience this difference.
Do a small exercise. Identify two projects. For example, 'to improve my handwriting' and `to reduce my weight'. For one project repeat internally, `I wish to improve my handwriting, I wish to improve my handwriting, etc. For the other project repeat internally, `I will reduce my weight, I will reduce my weight' etc. At the end of one month, check your handwriting and your weight. You will understand what I mean!
