The scripture likens the tongue to a little fire that eventually consumes a forest. This should let you know that the tongue does not just govern the direction of your life in one-off statements, each word sets off a chain reaction that eventually determines the rest of your life. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit." This means that death and life don't just happen. You have to wield the tongue to whittle the infection, the bad habit, or the debt. You also have to wield the tongue to prop up the family, the money, and the business.
