Speak it into existence

One of my favorite verses in the bible is Proverbs 18 vs 21 which says "Death and life are in the power of the tongue". The level of wisdom that is in this verse is unbelievable, well the level of wisdom is the bible is unbelievable as a collective but my main focus this week is going to be on this verse which shows us how we are in control of our own lives. " Death and life are in the power of the tongue " to me represents the source of a lot of people's success and downfall. Education, intelligence and financial background are amongst some of the success determining factors but what we have not been told is that your tongue plays an even bigger role than all these other factors.  The tongue on its own is just an organ that is active in the digestive process but if you then link it to the brain and start producing words then it becomes the most powerful tool in your arsenal.

Like I always say...the reason why you never do things is because your brain is always trying to keep you safe and com...

Start small while thinking big

Growing up, I was often told statements like "Rome was not built in a day" and as a kid the only sense that I could make of that was it takes time to build big things. Though this may be truth, it is a generalized truth which has been making more and more sense to me the older I grew. Now the statement signifies a long and hard journey which has a light at the end of the tunnel. It is very normal to feel scared or anxious when you think about how large your "Rome" is and how much time and effort will be needed to build it completely. Our brains are naturally wired to ensure survival so this means that anytime you try to do anything that threatens your comfort zone then immediately your brain kicks in and "talks you out of it". This is a feeling that we have all gone through at least once in our lives and that feeling of fear is the only thing that is standing between you and your "Rome".  So the title of my article this week is start small while ...
