It’s time we all realize that every experience comes from a thought manifested into word. The choice of words we use can ultimately seal our fate. We soon become victims and beneficiaries to those powerful words so why not choose words that will empower us.

Let’s talk good talk and sing good songs filled with words that uplift and inspire. Let’s find music with motivating lyrics and repeat the words that will come to shape our lives. You are what you eat and you become what you speak.

Let’s become more cognizant of the words that need not be said.

What you have to offer is valuable and only when you realize that can other people appreciate the value of your gifts. Not believing in yourself, to a large degree is focusing on the challenges that you’ve faced rather than your strengths and successes. They’re sometimes the result of having failed at a task, someone undermining you by pointing out what you can’t do or fear of success. Let’s not allow the things of the past to cloud our future.

I remember a few years ago while visiting the Bahamas for the Michael Jordan Invitational Golf Tournament I was asked by several natives when my next project was set to release. Many other times when posed with that same question I felt the need to share timelines and song titles but this time was extremely different. When asked when my next cd would be released I simply said, “I don’t have plans of releasing a record, but you can hear music on my website.” It was just as easy as that. I had discovered my self worth in just being. I unraveled myself from the belief that my value was attached to any record, project or accolades.

You and I are worth more than any words that can possibly be used to define our value. Believe in YOU because YOU can make a difference in someone else’s life when you put the effort in.

There is solace in truth and knowing the entire truth as soon as it can be made available. When we have the whole truth is usually when we’re able to make the best and most educated decisions. An untruth is someone attempting to have the illegitimate advantage and that often leads us astray.

Yes, sometimes the truth can be difficult to handle and not always pleasant whether you are telling the truth or on the receiving end. But, truth is also about trust and we must trust that we have what it takes to handle the truth and all that comes along with it. And trusting that we are equipped or can learn how to move our way through any situation that life presents itself is a great way to build confidence in yourself.

Are you living in truth?
