What kind of person do you want to be?

Every word we think and speak — whether we say it to ourselves or others — shapes our experiences, creates our world and shapes our future.
Our word choices matter. They shape our world. They impact our mindset.

If we are feeling something intensely, one thing we can do is take a minute to consider what label we are going to give it. What feeling will we call it?
But don’t stop there: once we have identified it, try to come up with two more words that describe that feeling.

What experience do you want to have?
Or be left with? For ourselves or others?
What kind of person are you?
What kind of person do you want to be?
What future are you shaping or creating?
What future do you want to create?
Are you tearing it down through the words you are thinking or speaking?
