The Spell of Efforts

Ever since I was young, I've been fascinated with magical worlds, where just by thinking in your head or reciting spells, you can create magic that helps people achieve their desires.

Spells are powerful words that enable us to harness the strength of our inner force and the natural world, making our lives more comfortable and effortless.

The existence of such enchantments in our world is uncertain, but we each possess an innate power. It's about learning to cultivate and utilize this power to attain our aspirations.

Years of perseverance have taught me that a simple word change can turn a curse into a spell for effort.

Before talking about spells, let's talk about curses.

Contrary to enchantments are curses, types of magic that lead to one's decline and multiple hardships. "I can't" is a particularly insidious, self-imposed, and self-defeating curse.

  • I can't accomplish that task.
  • That skill seems too challenging to master.
  • I can't wake up early because I am a night owl.
