  Your vocabulary is so toxic

• 0:04Speaker 00

  that the vibration of your neurology includes thoughts,

• 0:11Speaker 00

  includes frequencies, that is so toxic that even if you do visualization,

• 0:19Speaker 00

  it is offset by a vocabulary that is organically so negative. I don't care what your visualization is. Your vocabulary is fundamentally hostile.

  Welcome back to the Quote of the Day Show. I am your host, Shawn Croxton of seancroxton.com. We've got Carolyn Mace on the show today. This is one of my favorite clips. We've played this a couple of times in the past. Our QOD is this: Every word is a universe unto itself. Yesterday, Dan Millman was talking about how all the money information in the world is useless if your beliefs about money are negative. Today, Carolyn Mace is going to take it one level deeper. She's going to talk about how all the visualization in the world is useless if your self-talk is hostile. You can have the vision board. You can be doing the affirmations

• 1:31Speaker 01

  in the bathroom mirror. You can be doing the morning meditations. But if the voice running inside of your head all day is harsh and cruel towards yourself, none of it's going to land. So she's going to give you three specific words that may be doing more damage than you realize. Three words to watch for and three words she calls lethal. Carolyn Mace is coming up.

• 2:01Speaker 00

  Next, choose new words.

• 2:06Speaker 00

  I love this. I love this one.

• 2:11Speaker 00

  When I was growing up, I'm a wordsmith. I'm a writer, I'm a wordsmith. But I absolutely adore words. I actually went to bed reading the dictionary. And because every word is a universe unto itself. Every single word, and in my workshops, sometime if it's appropriate, I tell people what I want you to do is come back tomorrow with three words you're gonna give me. No, make it one, that you will never use again. Just one, I just want one word. And you will never use it again, never. And I get to have everything that comes with that word, everything.

• 2:56Speaker 00

  And I don't care if the word's two, letters, three, four, I just want one word. So imagine if you decided, okay, I'll give you the word bug. I'll give you the word, um, blue, and you'll never see blue again. Now, I really, really want you to go home sometime. In the next couple of days, after you hear this talk,

• 3:22Speaker 00

  and think about if you really had to yank a word out of your head, which meant you had to take the whole world that went with that word out of your head.

• 3:33Speaker 00

  What would you give that person? What word? Zebra? You'd never see a zebra again. You really wanna give up seeing that animal? Okay, and everything that went with that. Now, when someone says your thoughts and your words are not powerful, go to that exercise and come in through that door, and then construct the words that you say to another person. Word by word. And how powerful every single word is, that not only that you say to another person, but that you say to yourself.

• 4:13Speaker 00

  What are the words you say to yourself? Words that you should never utter again to yourself? Words that you should never, ever use? Words that you should say, "What is that word doing in my head?" When we finally do quantum energy medicine, micro-energy medicine, we will finally do analysis, energy analysis, at a level that includes the power of the vocabulary that we use. And we will be able to say to people, "Your vocabulary is so toxic

• 4:55Speaker 00

  that the vibration of your neurology includes thoughts, includes frequencies, but it's so toxic that even if you do visualization, it is offset by a vocabulary that is organically so negative. I don't care what your visualization is. Your vocabulary is fundamentally hostile. It is hostile. If I had to rate your vocabulary, it's fundamentally a hostile one toward everything you see, toward everyone, and toward yourself. You get up in the morning and you are hostile.

• 5:39Speaker 00

  Your first thoughts are angry. You see your life is not enough. You see others is not enough. Your first reaction to everything is critical. Your first reaction is, "This is not good enough. They're not good enough." And you hold as two words, power words, blame and deserve. "I blame them, and I deserve this." And you feel entitled. Three words that are lethal. Entitled, blame, and deserve. And if you could extricate those three words from your head, you have no idea how much better you would feel. If you never used those three words again,

• 6:24Speaker 00

  I will tell you right now, your depressions would be much less. Because you're not entitled to anything.

• 6:34Speaker 00

  Blaming others, blaming anything, will take you out of your present. And it will absolutely put such toxic perceptions in you.

• 6:48Speaker 00

  And you realize, all you have to think about is who's blaming you for something. And then just picture how many people are blaming you, and how would you like to dwell in that thought? Because if you're blaming others, I assure you, someone's blaming you. Someone's in therapy because they know you.

• 7:10Speaker 00

  So stop looking at the world through your eyes.

• 7:17Speaker 00

  Finally, make this choice. Choose to get up every day and bless your day. Choose to get up every single day and bless your day. And to say, "I have no idea what's going to be in my day, but it is blessed because I am alive." And don't base your gratitude for your life on what you have or how you feel. But just because you are.

• 7:45Speaker 00

  Just because you are. Just because you are.

• 7:51Speaker 00

  And then hold in your heart this prayer.

• 7:55Speaker 00

  "This day of my life will never come again. I will never see the people I am looking at again. I will never see the sun rise again, and I will never see that sunset. I will never see the person having breakfast with me again, just this way. No, nothing in my life like this will ever come again." That alone, that choice alone, should take out of your heart every bitter taste there is. That it should shape the life around you with such grace and such beauty.

• 8:35Speaker 00

  That it'd make you only want to see the present with great gratitude and love.
