Why say this?

Because you are not your strengths. And you are not your weaknesses. What you did and what you had or have doesn’t define you either.
If you say you’re stuck, you are. If you say you’re just OK, you surely are. And if you say you’re finished, you most definitely are.

You see you are whatever you SAY you are. You might as well say YOU ARE AWESOME. Don’t question whether you are that or are not. You become whatever you say you are in the MOMENT of your speaking. Your word has a magical power. We all know we should be really careful and conscious of what we say. Well, now you know why.
