The Power of Words:

How Your Mindset Shapes Your Success

Have you ever stopped to consider the power of your words? The way you speak—to yourself and others—directly influences your mindset, success, and personal growth.

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “If at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again.” But what if success isn’t just about trying again? What if it’s about mastering your mindset, setting boundaries, and using words that create transformation?

Let me share a revelation that changed my life.

Why Words Matter: My Personal Journey to Growth

It took me four therapists to find the right one. Four. But I never gave up on my quest for clarity, healing, and self-improvement.

Each time I started over, I learned something new about myself. But when I finally found the therapist who truly understood my journey, everything shifted.

I realized something powerful—persistence pays off, but the words we use determine how we experience the journey.

And that lesson led me to an experiment that changed everything.

“Can Words Really Shape Your Success? This Apple Experiment Will Shock You!”

I once conducted a mindset mastery experiment with a group of women that proved just how much words impact our confidence, success, and self-worth.

(“Watch the video experiment just below “)

The Experiment:

We cut an apple in half and placed each half in a separate jar.
One jar was labeled with positive words: beautiful, nourishing, thriving.
The other jar was covered with negative words: disgusting, rotten, worthless.
Every day for 28 days, we spoke to each apple, reinforcing the words on their jars.

Freshly sliced apples on a wooden board by the window, showcasing natural light.

The Results? Mind-Blowing.

The apple surrounded by positive words stayed fresh and vibrant for weeks.
The apple exposed to negative words decayed rapidly.

Now, here’s the kicker: Apples are 70- 80% water—just like us.

If words can physically impact an apple, imagine what they’re doing to your mindset, emotions, and future success.

Protect Your Mindset: Set Boundaries & Speak Life

This experiment reinforced something I already knew:

✅ What you say to yourself matters.
✅ What you allow others to say to you matters even more.

I’ve had to set firm boundaries—even with family.
People who’ve known you forever may struggle to see your growth and evolution. But I refuse to let outdated labels define me.

So, I affirm myself daily:
🚫 I do not think that way.
🚫 I do not act that way.
🚫 That is not who I am.

And guess what? It works.

Your Challenge: Rewire Your Mind for Success

I challenge you to start today.

🔹 Stand in front of a mirror and speak something positive to yourself. Repeat it daily until you truly believe it. Make it a habit, even on the days when you don’t feel like it. Remember, feelings can be unpredictable—don’t rely on them to determine your truth!
🔹 If all you can say is: “Great job, [Your Name], you got up this morning,” that’s a start!
🔹 Baby steps count. Your words are shaping your future.
