We must all remember the old saying “Choose your words carefully” as a warning of the impact of our words on others and ourselves.   Once we speak or hear certain words, they become programmed into our minds.  It’s not what we say, but what we repeatedly say.  The words we repeat are gradually convincing our minds that these statements are true. 

Words are also the seeds of our commitment.  We plant the seeds with each movement of our lips.  Once poken, our words either grow in the form of an immediate response or they take time to germinate.  Whether the result becomes apparent sooner or later, we cannot speak words of failure and defeat and expect a life of success and victory.

Here are three instruments for orchestrating your words:

1.  Talk yourself up!

2.  Speak with strength.

3.  Ask the right questions.
