Yo, today's QOD is, words are the doors into universes.

Here we go.

Welcome back to the Quoted Today Show.

I'm your host, Sean Croxton, and Sean Croxton.com.

We've got Dr. Karen and Mace on the show.

And this, my friend, is probably one of the most important talks you will ever hear in your whole entire life.

You know, I learned at a landmark forum event, gosh, it was a decade ago.

A lesson, a quote, a saying, a concept, and it goes like this.

It means what you make it mean.

Like, I just blew my mind. I was like, oh, my gosh, that is so true.

The way I receive things, the way I interpret things, is really a matter of subjectivity.

Like I created, you created.

And sometimes we get so, gosh, offended by the words that people say and they use in the way they say them and how loud they say them.

Like we have our own personal rules for words.

And something that somebody says or how they say it can really take us to another place when they really didn't mean a thing.

We did that.

We created that meaning.

You created that meaning.

And this little simple thing can destroy relationships, can destroy the possibilities for your life.

Do you know how many people aren't doing the thing that they really want to do because somebody said something to them 10, 20, 30 years ago?

In the meaning that was given to it literally stopped the person in their tracks and they just stopped growing ever since.

You can't let that happen to you.
