We live through our words. When we speak our words, we focus our attention and energy on what we've spoken. Then our actions follow that energy. Our unconscious mind, the engine behind our actions, responds to words literally. It believes and acts on what it hears, from others or ourselves.
Poverty is our destination.
Steer a straight course there. Do not pass go. So it's clearly in our highest interest to speak only what we choose to invite into our lives. Intentional creation requires intentional languaging. We CAN evolve to functioning at the higher levels of language, which support us in meeting our higher level needs.
