“WHEN” NOT “IF”

When we use the word “if” in our vocabulary, we are bringing in the possibility of something not occurring; and this has a foundation in doubt. When you are speaking or simply thinking about what you want, consider choosing the word “when” instead.

It’s a simple difference but look at the impact of the use of the latter rather than the former.

When I have that.

When this comes.

When I do this.

When I am there.

When this happens.

The word “when” suggests certainty that something will happen rather than offering the possibility that it may not. It empowers the possibility and encourages the existence.

Choose your words carefully to strengthen your confidence and help bring about the changes you want to see around you.

“When your intention is clear, so is the way.” – Alan Cohen
