The Value of Life

Dear friend,
As we sit in front of our computer screen, letting our eyes follow each word, we begin to discover how the use of powerful language patterns will allow us to succeed beyond our wildest expectations. And as we think about how that might happen, and listen to the ideas inside our own thoughts, we may find that we get excited at how much the right combination of word patterns can help us to reach our goals.
In fact, as we feel the excitement beginning to build, we'll want to learn more about how we can use powerful language in our life.
Among all the tools available to us, language is easily the most flexible and powerful. As we consider how difficult it would be to communicate without it, we naturally realize the importance of language. And just like any tool, language becomes more powerful as we learn the right way to use it.
Because language is so deeply ingrained in our thought process, the right combination of words can actually change our thinking. As we become aware of the power of language patterns such as "cause and effect", we expand our effectiveness beyond anything we had ever thought possible.
When we think about it, all beliefs are expressed in terms of cause and effect. Think for a moment about something we believe in. Write it down. Let's look at an example. Suppose our belief is something like this:
"I believe in free enterprise."
That's really only half of it. To get the other half, insert the word "because" and finish the statement.
"I believe in free enterprise because it allows people the ability to decide their own destiny."
Now, the amazing thing is that because we state something using a cause and effect pattern, people naturally and easily accept it -- even if it makes no logical sense. Why is this? The way our minds process language causes anything stated in a cause and effect pattern to be believed at a very deep level.
As we carefully study the wording of this article, you'll easily understand what I'm talking about. Look at the use of the words "because", "causes", "as", and "and". When we know what to look for, we'll see what I mean.
Does it really work? We can be the judge. How do we feel about the information we've just read? Do we believe it? Ask ourselves why.
I've provided almost no logical proof to you, I've simply presented the information using a powerful language pattern. Because of the way it is stated, you naturally believe what I am saying.
Try this for ourselves for a few days. As an experiment, try to use "cause and effect" in the statements we make to other people, and to ourselves as well. Experience for ourselves how this powerful use of language can expand our horizons.
