The things that happen to us are meaningless.
It’s only once we put words to it that we create a meaning.
“That destroyed me when he said that”
Vs.
“I was intrigued by how he came to that when he said that”
This isn’t just optimism or a good spin on things.
Your words have the power to create or destroy.
To lift you up or make you feel helpless.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking your words describe your reality.
Realise that you create your reality with your words.
