Harnessing the Power of Words to Shape Your Future

When I underwent a partial leg amputation, I asked my doctor how many patients typically went on to get a prosthesis. His answer? Very few. When I asked why, he explained that many lose hope for their future after the operation. That experience reinforced this truth: our perspective shapes our outcomes.


Set the date: Where do you want to be three years from now?


Your tongue is the rudder of your life, steering your direction. Are you guiding yourself toward the future you want? The words you speak and the thoughts you focus on determine your path. If you believe, anything is possible!


Speak words of health, greatness, and abundance. Your words set the trajectory of your life. When you declare, “I am strong” or “I am thriving,” you’re moving closer to those realities.


Successful people, especially athletes, often share how they visualized their achievements long before they came to fruition. Whether they wanted their first championship or changed paths after hearing an inspiring story, they made a decision and spoke it into existence. Even in challenging times, their words fuel their journey, bringing growth and favor. You can’t stay silent and expect to prosper. Speak consistently about the future you desire. Your words, paired with action, move you closer to becoming who you are meant to be.


Your focus determines your outcome

A snowstorm caught me in Lansing, Michigan years ago. Our flight was cancelled, and we finished the trip to Grand Rapids by bus. The driver kept saying, “We may end up in the ditch,” and even left the door open to watch the roadside. Guess what? We ended up in the ditch! His focus determined the outcome.


Speak life into your dreams

Whether it’s health, wellness, prosperity, or building strong relationships, stay focused and declare your future truth. You’re not just speaking—you’re sowing seeds for the life you desire.


Imagine yourself as the philanthropist you are designed to be.


Never say, “I can’t afford it.” Instead, reframe it: “It’s not the right time.” Your words shape your mindset, and your mindset creates your destiny.


You are just one positive declaration away from the breakthrough you seek. Speak victory, health, prosperity, and possibility into your life every day.



Let this inspire you to think and speak truthfully about your future—starting today.
