The simple lesson behind a wizard or witch’s first lesson at Hogwarts is that their word is magic and magic only works if it is believed in. Do not misuse those words. This is actually how all words work and magic is an extension or platform for when humans use their words wisely, with strength and ideas behind them that are powerful or magic in this example. Each phrase a person thinks in, each utterance about culture or race or gender a person exhales, each yell a person thunders during a fight, all have power in them. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis posits that we think in our language therefore our language affects our thoughts. It goes into other further details but on that minute example it is a bullseye. Your word is powerful. There is not an argument, amendment, citation, or further detail upon that statement to make it correct or fit new circumstance; take it as fucking truth and example upon itself. Your word is fucking powerful.
To not let it be powerful in your version of reality is to disrespect yourself and then forth your world. That means the people you work for, want to know, and care about. That’s just dangerous. It is causing stupidity to arise out of sloth and a lack of forethought and care. Think in things and make your words come out of a final thought. Be clear that anxiety, stress, and fear are all logically flawed. They are emotions which when employed, yes you work on them they do not work on you, make a person go at a speed which doesn’t fit having real effect. It means going too fast, anxiety, or too slow, stress, or staring at the wrong target too long, fear, and going the wrong way. Being present in your own is slowing down and realizing only you are in control. Each action in front of you is what matters but only right now and right now is what every other moment, every other word or idea, wishes it was or could be. There is no stress on this because stressing on this means part of one’s focus is not on this. There is nobody better because only you are here.
Each single step one takes, breath, thought, action is in their control and they all have an emotion to them and a belief in them. The thought one puts into this needs to with an aim for somewhere one wants to be and to currently be something they can be proud to make. Picking the emotions, belief and aim are being actively alive by deciding what to be. Actions done outside of this show carelessness on a tiny and magnanimous level. It is also rare to find a person who does this, not to say it is difficult, but rare. A person is always very powerful, they just often have it dispersed, unfocused, and terribly planned.
