Words are powerful, they have the ability to change you

September 26, 2015

My friends & family went to Oprah’s Live Your Best Life Weekend Tour last year. It was amazing, I’d highly recommend it to everyone in the future if they restart the tour. A lot of the talks were on words and the law of attraction. We literaly create our own realitly by the words we use. My favorite momment during the event was when Oprah shared her story of her visit at Maya Angelou’s house. Here’s what happend.

Oprah was visting Maya Angelou’s house for an event. There were many people at the house.  In the living room, there were two people making jokes about gay people.  Maya Angelou overheard them and asked them to leave their house.  Oprah understood that it wasn’t appropriate to make those jokes at anyones house, but she was surprised that Maya Angelou diddn’t just correct it and let them stay. Oprah asked Maya why she kicked them out, here’s what she said.

“Words are powerful, and I don’t want those words sticking to the cloth on my couch because every time I walk in that room, I’ll feel those words and words have the ability to change you.

Be mindful about what language and words you use, because they literally change you and your energy every time you use them.  

What words are you using?

How are they changing you?

What reality through language are you creating for your life?

After hearing that, and so many other good stories. I felt so empowered to ensure that our home was filled with words that made us feel empowered to pursue our dreams everyday. A house with no words or images on our walls would now feel empty, I want it to feel alive and empower me every day I wake up.  Here are some of the vision boards & language you’ll find on our walls.
