JC invites you to tally how many times you say the words ONLY and JUST. These two words have an immense amount of power and take sneakily take away your true worth. Consider how high you can fly without them.
Today, I encourage you to keep track of how many times you use the words only and just. I think these two words dampen the human spirit without us even realizing it. Building your strength by honoring all that you are and all you are capable of doing.
Today, I encourage you to keep track of how many times you use the words only and just. I think these two words dampen the human spirit without us even realizing it. Imagine you have a meeting today and you're going to have to leave early. So you say something like, hey, I'm only going to be able to be here for 20 minutes. What if you change that to saying, hey, I'm going to be able to give you 20 minutes right now? All of a sudden, the value of that 20 minutes went from being an only to being in everything.
How often do we diminish our physical capacity? Let's say it's the conversation of either being someone who's going to walk or someone who's going to run. Oh, I just walk. I walk. What if, rather than only ingesting your capacity, you honored the capacity that you have? Would that change your output? Would that change other people's perspective of your value? Would it change your own perspective of your value? Try it out. You may find today that you don't only or just yourself at all. You would definitely be in the minority.
You may find that you only ingest everything. So if you're wondering why you don't always feel as amazing as you are, ask anybody else around you. It may be because these little words come creeping in. Do you actually believe you are an only or a just? Are you protecting yourself, maybe from that one voice on the outside who's going to fire back at you? Well, build your strength by honoring all that you are and all that you are capable of doing. Let's take a minute right now to be where we are with what we have and to appreciate that 1 minute.
Not just a minute, no 1 minute. Close your eyes. So where are you? What's going on? Out of all the things you have to do today, maybe you would want to invest more, be capable of giving more, of being more, of doing more. The first step to doing so is to honor what you can and then to grow from there. This 1 minute of stillness is enough and so are you. It come back into this moment. Let your eyes open and see all that you are capable of accomplishing today. No onlys or just about it. Have a good one.
