Real-Ize!

That is an interesting word - realize. It has so many subtle meanings.

The suffix "ize" has come to mean to make, or to render... 

• Conceptualize
• Commercialize
• Emphasize

So realize can be understood as "to make real," right?

Think about it. When you realize something, you become aware of it. So in a very real sense (pun intended), you are making it REAL.

If you're following The Word Doctor, you likely know that not only do I have a great love of words, but also of co-creating our lives with God/Universe/Higher Power. So, when you suddenly obtain awareness or knowledge and REAL-ize it, you are in a very true sense changing your world. Not only do your thoughts and ideas change, but with that energy shift, so does your world.

So, real-ize this: you are capable of great things. Your words literally change your life, your world, and the worlds of those who read or hear those words. The ideas and knowledge you share become real in the lives of your readers and followers. 

This is why I am so aware of the need, as an editor, to make sure that your words are not just accurate, but also authentic to you, aligned with your who-you-are-ness. 

So, realize your greatness, and share it!
