The Power of Words: How What You Say Shapes Your Reality
Written on
Chapter 1: The Impact of Your Words
Have you ever noticed that when you're discussing something you're passionate about near your phone, you suddenly start receiving ads related to that topic? This phenomenon highlights the importance of our spoken words, as reflected in various sayings: “Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back,” “Loose lips sink ships,” “A closed mouth gathers no flies,” and “You are what you think and say.”
In addition, affirmations such as “I am a magnet for abundance, and I deserve all the good things that come my way” and “Gratitude flows through me, attracting more good into my life,” emphasize the significance of being conscious about the energy we project and absorb. How we interpret and navigate through life is deeply intertwined with these expressions.
Black Mirror's “Nosedive”: A Disturbing Reflection of Society
“Nosedive” is an episode that takes a chilling look at a future where social standing is determined by a public rating system. This narrative feels eerily familiar, mirroring our current society's obsession with likes, followers, and ratings.
The episode's brilliance lies in its satire, showcasing a vibrant world where underlying anxiety and desperation lurk beneath cheerful interactions. The protagonist, Lacie (portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard), embodies the pressure to maintain a flawless online persona. While the show offers a lighter tone than some of its counterparts, it doesn't shy away from addressing the terrifying implications of living in a society governed by ratings.
Ultimately, “Nosedive” serves as a cautionary tale, revealing the potential consequences of our current trajectory. While we still have the choice to manage our online presence, we must ask ourselves: Are we truly exercising that freedom?
Affirmations and the Universe
Let me share a personal story. Throughout my life, I have wished for love and connection, and each time, I found those desires manifested, albeit not always in ways that satisfied me.
The process of wishing operates like affirmations; you have to clearly define your desires. Life has a unique way of delivering the people and experiences that align with those wishes. However, it is crucial to recognize that simply wishing isn't enough. It requires an active effort to filter out distractions and focus on what you truly want.
By vocalizing your aspirations—whether positive or negative—you emit energy that not only influences your surroundings but also profoundly impacts yourself. Consider the advertisements that respond to your voice or the chain reactions initiated by negative words.
Therefore, I emphasize once again: be conscious of your thoughts and words. They hold the power to shape your life in significant ways!

Chapter 2: The Influence of Thoughts
The first video titled "When they say the quiet parts loud - listen" explores the significance of unspoken thoughts and the power of words in shaping our reality.
The second video, "Diversity & Inclusion: Saying Quiet Things out Loud," discusses the importance of voicing thoughts and fostering inclusivity in our conversations.
Social Media, Advertising, and Awareness
What do all these elements have in common? They are always monitoring your interactions.
For instance, I recently had a conversation with my father about epoxy glue, and moments later, his phone was inundated with ads for the same product. He recognized this curious occurrence as well. In another instance, while transporting a children's playhouse with my brother, I remarked on the beauty of southern Estonia and the joy of exploring new routes. Before we knew it, we found ourselves on an unfamiliar road, primarily due to our reliance on Google Maps and not paying enough attention to our surroundings.
