"あなたの言葉はあなたの住む家になる"
— Hafez
Simplified Meaning:
The things we say can shape our lives, just like a house shapes the way we live. When we talk positively, it creates a happy and welcoming space around us, much like a cozy home feels safe and comfortable. For example, if you often tell yourself and others that you can achieve your goals, you start to believe in yourself more and work harder towards those goals. On the other hand, if you constantly say negative things, it's like building a house with weak walls; eventually, it might fall apart and make you feel unhappy or stressed. To have a better life, it’s useful to use kind and encouraging words, both to yourself and to those around you. This positive language creates a strong, supportive environment, much like living in a solid, well-built house.
