CHAPTER 1

Words Have Power

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world. Buddha

Here's what I've learned in discovering the magic within: the power of words is undeniable. I thought I knew the answers to life until I become aware of the predictability of my life. I lived daily with feelings I thought were deemed normal by society. The truth is, I was just existing in what seemed to be a mundane world. Routine had become comfortable for me and ultimately left my life stagnant. I was simply living an ordinary life. My passion and zest for life had been lost. One day I started challenging this state and became curious, asking myself, "What else is out there?" Have you ever been so beaten down by life that you were left feeling completely alone, afraid, and, worst of all, hopeless? As if you were hollow inside. Feeling numb, confused, and completely invisible? Knowing that you are one person to the core, but being told something so very different? Hard enough as an adult, but imagine as a young child?

Let me take you on a journey. Imagine for a moment a young, innocent, shy, little girl who grew up in a small town, naive and unaware of the possibilities of life beyond her front door. She was constantly told that she just wasn't enough and had begun to see the world through an obscured and cloudy lens. Words, seemingly harmless at first, were carelessly and continuously planted. The seeds of discouragement, "You are stupid," "You're never going to be anything." "You are a failure," "What's wrong with you?" were sown.

These words grew to become a part of her life and soon a part of her identity. Words have power. These words became her truth, filling her soul with self-doubt, shame, sadness, and self-hate. She began to shrink and became very small in the world. One day she cried out. This is not my life!

This story was my story. You see, I lived the lies from someone else's story. It was so subtle that I didn't even know it was happening until it was too late. I had swallowed the lies piece by piece. I was left broken and constantly felt the need to prove myself. You see, if you are told something once, so what. Told twice ... hmmm maybe something to this. Told again and again and again ... those words became my truth. I did what most people do. I locked it in. My brain did its job and found the evidence to support every single lie until I believed it too.

But deep down- I didn't want to believe it.

But then there it was the fuel. The fuel that I needed to prove those words wrong, but more importantly I wanted to discover who I really was, my authentic self. Some days were harder than others, I wanted to give up and give in to the story.

But I made a choice.

At a point, when part of me wanted so desperately to end it all, I chose to get up and fight. To fight for it all. I did the things that I'm asking you to do today. I discovered the magic within. I chose to shine.

Words have power. I had choices. I could have easily said that he was right and given in, but I chose to change my thinking and create something different. It is difficult to say with absolute certainty what kept me from choosing the other fate: doom, despair, rejection. At times I wonder where intuition fits in. Somewhere within me, I knew that I was going to fight his influence. Some may say it was my age, my personality, or maybe just plain old courage. Regardless of why it occurred, I gave birth to the notion that I would never give up or give in. This didn't occur without occasional bouts of self-doubt in which I wondered if those negative words that he'd so carelessly thrown at me might somehow be true. Yet I found myself surrounding myself with people who supported me and relayed a much different message. The message came in many forms: "You can do it!" "You inspire me." "You will accomplish amazing things in your life," to name a few. Words have power.

I would like to tell you that this was the only time in my life I struggled with self-doubt and overcoming deep emotional wounds, but that, of course, would be a lie. I am sure that I am not alone in this either. We all have something to overcome, a hurdle to vault over. The challenge is to take what life gives you and choose to turn it into something else, something magical, to give power to what really matters, to the words that inspire, motivate, and bring life into your spirit.

Words affect the messages that we tell ourselves and others, and eventually they become the foundation of the stories that dominate and steer our paths. Yet, looking back, I can appreciate the gifts that the messages this person of influence unknowingly gave me: a profound drive and motivation that still fuels me today.

I get to choose the messages I tell myself — words have power. We are not able to change the details of the past, but we can choose how we step forward in the present. The word is not just a sound or a written symbol. The word is a force, it is the power you have to express and communicate, to think, and thereby to create the events of your life. — Don Miguel Ruiz

Jack Canfield, in his book The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, provides a beautiful summary of just how important our words are. "If I express love and acceptance to you, you will experience love for me. If I express judgment and contempt for you, you will judge me back. If I express gratitude and appreciation for you, you will express gratitude and appreciation back to me. If I express words of hatred toward you, you will most likely hate me back."

What if we shifted our perspectives to this boomerang concept — what I put out there comes back to me? What if more and more people got it that this is how the world works. Can you imagine the beauty that we would create? Wow! That gives me the shivers.

Going back to the energy of our world, everything that we create has and is made up of energy. Therefore, even the words we speak to ourselves and to others have energy. That energy, in return, has a direct impact on us and others. In 1994, a Japanese scientist named Dr. Masura Emoto began experimenting with water and the power of words. He used various methods, speaking words, showing pictures, playing music, and praying to the water. After freezing the water and observing the molecules under a high-powered microscope, he discovered that the water molecules changed shapes, creating crystal formations. Positive messages and expressions resulted in beautiful crystals, while negative messages and expressions created unpleasant and malformed ones. Now, just think. If our bodies are made up of 90 percent water, what is the impact that these messages can have on our bodies at the...
