"The words we choose to use become the incantations that shape our world. What we say to ourselves shapes identity, resilience, and action. Be mindful of the words that shape your thinking." -- ShadowsPub
The stories we tell are not magic but they do have impact. They influence our own ideas and can influence the ideas of others. Influence is both a gift and a responsibility.
That is a very soothing image. I wonder if the word incantation could be an incantation.
