    “weed your words wisely”

    Any plant called a weed will go through life with low expectations. Think about it…if we are told as an individual the same thing over and over, we will begin to believe that about ourselves even if it isn’t true. We will assume we can be any different. Be careful what you say to people..words really do matter!
