Words have the power to uplift, inspire, and transform the direction of your life. When we speak, we are not just expressing thoughts but our reality. That’s why it’s crucial to let your words empower your expectations.
I saw the movie, The Six Triple Eight, which tells the story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only – Black, all-female unit to serve overseas during World War II. Faced with overwhelming odds, these women were tasked with clearing a massive backlog of undelivered mail that carried hope, love, and connection for soldiers far from home.
Their motto, “No Mail, No Morale,” became their rallying cry. They didn’t just repeat it; they lived it. They turned an impossible task into a mission of purpose through their words and actions. Despite racism, sexism, and the realities of war, they empowered each other with words of encouragement, strength, and unity. And because they believed in their mission, they achieved the extraordinary.
Like the women of the Six Triple Eight, we all face challenges that can feel impossible. But when we choose words that reflect our belief in ourselves and our purpose. Instead of saying, ” This is too hard, ” say, ” I am built for this.” Instead of asking, Why me?” ask, “What can I learn from this?”.
Your words should reflect your vision for your future. The person who says, “I will succeed, ” is already closer to success than the one who doubts.
Today, I’d like to challenge you to speak purposefully just like the women of the Six Triple Eight. Declare victory over your challenges. Proclaim growth over your setback. Let your words carry you closer to the life you’re striving for.
When your words empower your expectations, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
