Your own words are the bricks and mortar of the dreams you want to realize. Your words are the greatest power you have. The words you choose and their use establish the life you experience.

Choquette frames language as a formative force: the “bricks and mortar” metaphor suggests that repeated self-talk and spoken intentions accumulate into the structures of one’s life—habits, relationships, and perceived possibilities. The quote reflects a common theme in contemporary spiritual/self-help writing: words do not merely describe reality but help create it by shaping attention, belief, and behavior. In this view, careful, affirmative phrasing becomes a practical tool for change, while negative or careless speech can reinforce limiting narratives. The emphasis on choice (“the words you choose”) highlights personal agency and responsibility in constructing meaning and direction.
