Good Vibes, Good Life: How Self-Love Is the Key to Unlocking Your Greatness pdfdrive com

The power of words
Words can hurt, help or heal. There’s power
in everything you write and say. Your
message is significant; be wise with it.
In the 1990s, Dr Masaru Emoto carried out ground-breaking experiments on the
impact of emotional energy on water.
11
In one study, he wrote positive and
negative words on containers full of water. He then froze samples of the water
from each container.
Among the negative words were ‘you fool’ while a positive one was ‘love’. Dr
Emoto’s thinking was that if our words are energy and water is an absorber of
energy, then surely the words would affect the water in some way.
He was absolutely right. The water that had been exposed to positive words
formed beautiful ice crystals, with the words ‘love’ and ‘gratitude’ forming the
most stunning ones. In contrast, the water exposed to negative words formed
unappealing patterns with distorted shapes. He found the same results by
verbally communicating words to different water containers. It was clear that our
words carry a vibration.
As I mentioned in Part Two of this book, our bodies are mainly made up of
water. Now imagine how much our words might affect us.

Set the intention
If you’re unsure about what you
want, you’ll end up with a lot
of things you’re unsure of.
Before going after your goals, you have to know what you want. You cannot
attain that which you’re unsure about. You wouldn’t go into a restaurant and say,
‘I think I want the vegetable curry,’ when placing your order. You either want it
or you don’t.
If you’re confused about your intention, the results that follow will reflect that.
For example, if the waiter asks you how spicy you want the vegetable curry but
say you’re not sure, you could receive any level of spice. If you then find it too
spicy, it would be your own fault because you didn’t give clear instructions.
Setting the right goal is everything. It has to reflect what you deeply desire – not
what you think you 
should
want. For many years, the things I believed I wanted
were actually only to impress other people. Sometimes I’d achieve these things
and feel surprised that they didn’t satisfy me.
Your goals should reflect who you are as a person. They should be the things
you think about all the time that you know will improve the quality of your life.
Having materialistic desires is fine; only those who have completely transcended
their ego don’t have any. Nevertheless, your goals should mean a lot to you. For
example, someone might want a bigger house to raise a large family in, so they
can share good times together. There’s greater meaning to this goal than wanting
the bigger house just to prove how rich you are.

Once you make an intention clear, the Universe will work in miraculous ways.
When we put what we want out there, the manifestation process begins and
things start to unfold in our favour. Our dreams come to life.
J. Cole is a renowned American rapper, writer and producer, who previously had
jobs in advertising and debt collecting. In a 2011 interview, Cole claimed that
after watching the rapper 50 Cent’s movie 
Get Rich or Die Tryin’
, he was
inspired to make himself a T-shirt carrying the bold statement: ‘Produce for Jay-
Z or Die Tryin’. In the interview, Cole said he thought he could take a different
route to becoming a rapper by first becoming noticed as a producer. He wanted
to create an avenue to his main goal, and that’s why he created the T-shirt.

After wearing the T-shirt in the hope that someone from the music industry or
Jay-Z himself would recognize him, it wasn’t until several years later that
something amazing happened: with his goal set and his great work ethic
