Get a Boost with Empowering Words

Let’s look at a bunch of words that are sure to broaden your experiences.

If your words create your world, the more vocabulary you have in your knowledge base and at your disposal, the bigger your world! And the bigger your world, the more you can experience in it, wouldn’t you agree?

So for today, why don’t we examine a few of these gems. Take the word “power” to start. What do you associate with it? Perhaps “strength”? Physical and mental strength we need every day; you know, to get things done. What about “fortitude”? Wow, this is a nice one! When do you need this expression of the idea of power? – Well, I’d suggest you need fortitude when your strength is being tested in a moment of great temptation, or when strength is required of you for a longer duration of time. We could also call that “endurance.” Though related, these words describe different aspects of power.

I know you possess all of these aspects of power, but do you use the words that describe them in your day to day life? I dare say if you do, you’ll find your power increasing.

So, you’re already thinking in English, right?

Here’s how you can potentiate your power in the process: I challenge you to use the words power, strength, fortitude, and endurance this week. In an email, during a chat with a friend, speaking with a business associate… I know you have the endurance!
