The Future Creates the Present: Language as a Portal to Actualization
By Melanie McCool
Have you ever noticed how a single sentence can shift your entire energy?
You speak something out loud, and suddenly it feels more real. More possible. More aligned. It's not just a feeling. It's the beginning of actualization, that potent moment when a thought starts to crystallize into form.
The Ancient Power of Words
There's an ancient phrase that captures this perfectly.
Avra k'davra. You may recognize it as "abracadabra," the word often tossed around in magic shows. But its origin is far more meaningful. In Hebrew, "Avra k'davra" means:
"I will create as I speak."
It isn't metaphor. It's mechanics. The words you speak shape the reality you live.
As a hypnotherapist and subconscious reprogramming expert, I've witnessed this too many times to count. Our internal narratives, our future-focused language, and even the quiet thoughts we whisper to ourselves are constantly setting the stage for what happens next.
Reversing the Flow of Creation
Some teachings emphasize the idea that your present creates your future. And while that can appear true on the surface, it misses a deeper reality I've seen unfold again and again in my work with entrepreneurs.
The truth is more often this:
Your future creates your present.
Everything you're experiencing now was once a future vision. Whether it was intentional or unconscious, you imagined something first. That imagined outcome shaped your energy, your behavior, your decisions. And all of that came together to create what you're experiencing now.
The Mechanics of Actualization
Thoughts
Begin with what you imagine
Feelings
Emotions arise from thoughts
Actions
Behavior follows feelings
Results
Your reality manifests
This is the process of actualization in real time. Thoughts create feelings. Feelings inform our actions or our inaction. And those actions, repeated over time, create the results we live with. Our entire life is shaped not by circumstance alone, but by the future we believe is coming.
We move through time using three tools: The past, which stores evidence. The present, where action lives. And the future, which guides our direction.
And while the present is where you act, the future is where you decide.
Think of the last time you doubted yourself. Maybe you were about to launch a new offer, speak on a stage, or raise your rates. What stopped you? It wasn't the present. It was the imagined future. A future where you might be rejected. Where no one buys. Where you fail.
That imagined future shaped how you showed up in the present. That's how powerful it is.
The Language of Limitation vs. Creation

Limitation Language
"I need more clients"
"I want to earn six figures"
"Someday I'll succeed"
The same is true for your desires. You say, "I need more clients" or "I want to earn six figures" and you're speaking it as if it's out there in the distance. Not here. Not now. Which means you're also telling your subconscious: I don't have it yet. And that reinforces a present of lack.

Creation Language
"I create a million dollars in aligned, prosperous service, and I'm already in motion."
Language is never neutral. It's creative. And it's always working with time.
So what happens when you flip the script?
What if instead of saying "I need to make a million dollars," you said, "I create a million dollars in aligned, prosperous service, and I'm already in motion."
The words are different. But more importantly, the energy is different.
Embodying Your Future Self
Now your mind starts searching for alignment. For evidence. For embodiment. You begin to feel the identity of the coach who already does the thing, not the coach who hopes to get there someday.
It isn't about pretending. It's about choosing to rewire your internal language so that you are no longer waiting for the future to rescue you. You speak it into the now. You let it shape your identity. You begin to walk as the version of you who already holds the outcome. And from that place, life begins to respond differently.
The subconscious doesn't respond to goals. It responds to identity. To belief. To embodied language.
And when identity, belief, and language align with your future, you begin to live from actualization instead of just manifestation. You no longer chase what's ahead. You become it now.
Upgrading Your Language
From Limitation
"I need..."
"I want..."
"Someday I'll..."
Through Transformation
Speak with clarity
Speak with certainty
Speak without begging for proof
To Embodiment
Speak as your future self
Let words rise from inner knowing
Create from truth, not hustle
If you find yourself looping in "I need" or "I want" or "Someday I'll," gently invite yourself to upgrade.
Try speaking as the version of you who already holds the result. Speak with clarity. Speak with certainty. Speak with the softness that does not beg for proof. Let your words rise up from the part of you that already knows.
Paving Your Path Forward
Because before you can walk the road, the road must be paved.
And you pave it with language. With belief. With feminine power that creates from inner truth, not outer hustle.
So speak it.
Speak your future into form.
Avra k'davra.
