info_outlineWhat if the life you're living right now is being shaped by the words you speak every day—especially the ones you say to yourself? In this video, I break down what I call the Creation Principle of Integrity from my book Take the Stairs: 👉 You think it. You speak it. You act. Then it happens. From the chair you're sitting in to the goals you're chasing, everything begins the moment you speak it into existence. But here's the real challenge: What are you telling yourself about yourself? Most of us say things to ourselves that we’d never allow others to say to our spouse, kids, or closest friends. And over time, we start to believe those lies—not because they’re true, but because we hear them over and over. 🔥 In this video, you'll learn: Why your words are the genesis of all creation How self-talk shapes your identity and future The heartbreaking truth about how we treat ourselves A mindset shift that could radically change your life If you're ready to take control of your internal narrative and start speaking the life you want into reality, this message is for you. 💬 Comment below: What’s one negative belief you’re ready to stop saying to yourself? 🎯 Ready to rewrite your story and clarify your message?
