I want to talk to you today about how your words become your reality. You are where you are today in part because of what you've been saying about yourself. Words are like seeds.

And in the process, we say more than we actually should.  Have you ever thought of the Importance of the silence? Have you ever thought of why you have been given two lips and a brain to think? The main reason is for you to know by reasoning for the right time to talk and the right time not to.
