Words people say about themselves:
I'm such a klutz.
I always mess up.
I can't do it.
I'm such an idiot.
I'm getting the flu...cold.

Because it doesn't happen immediately, we tend to be careless with our words.

My word for this year is "words." I pick a word for the year instead of resolutions.

This year I will pay even closer attention to the words I use.

I will speak as if my words will make it real . . . make it happen.
