A friend just quoted her mother this morning, "The Road is in Your Mouth". I asked her what she meant. She said her mother often told her as a child that if she wants something, if she has a dream, she needs to talk about it. As long as she kept her hopes and dreams a secret, no one could help her make them happen.
In other words, the road to your dreams begins with your voice.
It made me think about a workshop I used to conduct on goal setting and achievement. We encouraged workshop participants to give voice to their goals. The act of declaring a goal makes it more real to the individual. And the conversation that follows helps to refine and clarify the goal and the path to get there. Even better, people love to be able to help others. When someone talks about goals, other people become on the lookout for ways to help themselves or for other people who can help.
The road is in your mouth. Try it and see what happens!
Question to Ponder: What goal, hope or dream is on your mind? What would happen if you mentioned it to someone? Or to many "someones"?
