Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing, and even today words retain much of their magical power.--Sigmund FreudWe shape our experiences with the words we use to describe them.
Word images create expectations and we naturally move toward them.
When a person says, "I can't!" they are commanding their unconscious self to be helpless.
When they have a picture in their mind of moving toward their goal, they may say, "It's hard, but I'm going to give it my best effort."
If, every time they makes a mistake, they mutter berating statements to themselves like, "You idiot! You can't do anything right," they are teaching themselves to be inadequate.
It's our responsibility to use respectful, honest, health-giving words.
We can no longer use defeating, shaming, or derogatory words.
Let's meet our difficulties with our strengths and respectful words for ourselves.

The butterfly effect takes hold and those few words travel through the mind and come spilling back out in yet another positive flow that continues to prove that Love Grows... even from stranger to stranger.
