When I was in high school, one of my teachers had a poster up that read as follows:

Speak what you seek until you see what you've said!

Every time I went into her class, I read the poster though I already knew what it said. One Sunday, while at church, the poster finally made sense. No matter what you want out of life, you have the power to make it happen just by speaking it into existence.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue." - Proverbs 18:21

Positive self-affirmation is necessary to do anything in life. While it is true that God has already planned everything out for us, He still wants us to demonstrate our faith in Him by expecting for Him to do what we ask Him to.

So from this point on, remember that your I can make its, and your I'm a failures definitely affect your environment and your situation.
