YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE.

Words are much more powerful than most people think. They can be used to describe but also create. They can create impressions, mathematical models, emotions and even personalities.

They can change you or at least have you believe you're someone that you're not. Which then leads you to becoming someone that you weren't.

First things first, be careful of the words you use on yourself - they will destroy you. But also, be careful of the words people use on you - they can define you and lock you away in their little box.

Now obviously, you don't decide the words that come from people's mouths. However, you do decide whether you grow or whether you self-reflect or ultimately whether you KNOW YOURSELF.

Knowing yourself is the shield from all the words heading your way. So, eventhough sticks and stones may break your bones IF YOU KNOW YOURSELF...Words can never hurt you.

Bless,
