Ep 125. The Power of 'I'—How Language Shapes Your Identity & Self-Worth"
In a world where values like honesty, integrity, loyalty, and authenticity are praised, many of us struggle with living up to them—especially in the age of social media. Our ego identity—the part of us tied to group belonging, image, and perception—is shaped by the environments we grow up in: families, schools, communities, and now global digital tribes. But have you ever asked yourself: Who am I when no one is watching? The words we speak—to others and especially to ourselves—craft our internal self-image. That image, our "persona," is built over years, sometimes unconsciously. And it's fragile. "I" statements are powerful—they show ownership and accountability. Stop Saying 'You'—The Secret Language That’s Sabotaging Your Self-Image "You" statements often project blame. "We" statements can be inclusive but may blur individual responsibility. The language we use isn't just communication—it's the architecture of our self-worth. We often tie accountability to shame or punishment, making it hard to admit when we've failed or hurt others. Why? Because we've protected that inner image of "me" since childhood. But here’s the truth: owning your story is not weakness—it’s freedom. If you want to heal, grow, and lead, start by paying attention to your internal dialogue. Be kind to yourself. Speak with intention. Take ownership. The journey begins not with others, but with how you speak to you. Transform your mindset. Own your voice. Walk well.Hey folks, let me know what you think about the Running Man Podcast.
