Summary

This quote suggests that while we may not have complete control over our thoughts or the automatic impulses they create, we do have the power to control the words we speak. By consciously choosing our words and repeating them, we can influence our subconscious mind. Through this repetition, we gain mastery over our situation, as our subconscious mind absorbs and integrates these repeated messages, shaping our thoughts, emotions, and ultimately, our actions. By understanding the power of our words and utilizing repetition, we can intentionally impact our subconscious and ultimately shape our reality.
