What Name Does *Your* Future Have?

The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible. For the fainthearted, it is unknown. For the thoughtful and valiant, it is ideal. – Victor Hugo

Language is the basis and currency of our thoughts and mental life.

What we name things, and continue to call them, are what they become and remain.

Whatever you say about yourself, enough times, is what you become.

Sometimes these words are ours, sometimes they are the inheritance of others.

The truth is we ourselves must live our lives – in each moment, from that moment.

To live fully – and well – we must carefully and positively choose our words…  we must constructively choose our thoughts and the beliefs that result.

Understand that you are naming your future all the time.

Live authentically and lovingly* – from that Truth – it is what you will become.

* Be sure to love yourself first; you can never give to others what you can not afford yourself.
