Are you considering marriage, already married, or perhaps navigating parenthood? Here's some invaluable advice.
Twenty-six years ago, at the onset of my marriage with Danielle, we made a pact to eliminate THREE WORDS from our vocabulary. These words were not just discouraged but deemed detrimental as we made goals about our relationships and family culture. They were not only discouraged; they were considered a curse word in our home and continue to be so today!

So, what are these three words?
• DIVORCE: We banished discussions of separation or incompatibility, fostering a commitment to resolve issues together.
• DEPRESSED: We opted for proactive language to address feelings of sadness or despair, emphasizing communication and seeking support.
• "CAN'T": This word, implying limitation, was replaced with empowering alternatives like "won't," "I'm not interested," or "I don't know how yet."
While we strictly adhered to the first two, occasional slips with "can't" prompted swift reminders from each other, reinforcing our language discipline with a touch of humor.
What's the significance?
Words are not just words; they hold power to shape our emotions and actions. Our mantra became clear: "WORDS trigger EMOTIONS, which trigger ACTIONS."
Here's some advice: Consider the words you choose, for they shape your reality. Instead of "can't," explore phrases like "won't" or "I'm learning how to."
Whenever you utter "can't," you limit your potential and hinder progress. By reframing your language, you open doors to possibility and growth.
Remember, don't speak it if you don't want it to become your reality.
Believe in the power of your words. Your words WILL sculpt your destiny positively or negatively.
