What you say is what you get. Your tongue is a creative force.

Words have power. In many scriptural texts, the power of words is made very clear.

God SAID, "Let there be light", and there was light.

Jesus curses the fig tree and the Apostles HEARD IT. Then a day later, the fig tree was dead.

A magician says "Abracadabra, I now pull a rabbit out of my hat", and he does so. Although this is not real magic, the word abracadabra comes from an ancient Persian word that translates as "I now create with my words".

Words have more power than you know.

Winners in sports use words to psyche themselves up, saying things like "I am the best, I am the greatest, I am going to win this game", etc.

They instinctively know the power of words.

Successful people do this all the time. They say things like "I am going to turn this business around, I am going to make so much money this year", etc

The question I want to ask you is first, what do you SAY when you talk to yourself. This "self-talk" is the most critical.

You will get what you SAY to yourself, when no one is listening.

First, watch EVERY word you say for an entire day. You will be amazed at how many negative things you say. Things like:

  • I knew this would not work out
  • People always screw me
  • I am always overlooked
  • My deals always fall apart
  • Things never work out for me
  • I am struggling
  • I am stressed
  • Money is so tight right now

The list is endless.

Remember, WHAT YOU SAY IS WHAT YOU GET.

You must CHANGE WHAT YOU SAY in order for you to change your conditions in life. Say things like:

Things are getting better and better

In the past, I struggled, but NOW things are getting better and turning around

I am going to have a GREAT year

Do this, and you will start to see magic in your life.

Replace all the negative self talk, with positive self talk and your life will get better and fast.

If you want to succeed, DO what successful people DO, THINK like successful people THINK, and SPEAK like successful people SPEAK.

The secret to manifesting your goals isn’t just dreaming big — it’s feeling the sting of what’s at stake. Pain isn’t something to avoid; it’s a catalyst for action. By embracing the emotional cost of failure and tying it to your vision, you create an unbreakable bond between where you are and where you’re determined to go. Winners may love to win, but their fear of losing is what keeps them in the game.

And remember, complementing positive thinking is the practice of positive self-talk, which refers to the internal dialogue we have with ourselves. This self-talk can be either constructive or detrimental, significantly influencing our self-esteem and motivation. Negative self-talk, characterized by self-criticism and doubt, can lead to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. Conversely, positive self-talk fosters confidence and encourages perseverance.

To cultivate positive self-talk, individuals can start by recognizing and challenging negative thoughts. For example, if someone thinks, “I’ll never be able to do this,” they can reframe that thought to, “I may struggle now, but I can improve with practice.” This shift not only enhances self-confidence but also encourages a proactive approach to challenges.

Make no mistake: this is the secret weapon you’ve been missing. Find your why behind the why, and watch your dreams become unstoppable realities.
