Words truly do have power. Have you ever noticed the
response or reaction you receive when you say certain
things? That's because the words we use affect the
outcome of the situation. They enrich us or they can
cut us to the bone as if we were cut with a knife.

Our words are just one way of how we communicate
with others. When we speak we want others to listen.
What we say is important to how the message is
received. Just as with the presentation the words are
vital to the message.

Even though we communicate in many different ways,
through a look or a touch, a smile, or even the way we
stand, our words are even more important. They not
only express our views on the subject we’re presenting
they also represent who we are as an individual.

Our brain processes words in a certain way. In some
cases our brain may not be able to formulate the true
meaning of what someone is saying. That’s when we
ask questions. We seek clarity and understanding of
what the words are meant to represent.

If we’re angry our words can be forceful, rude,
demeaning and hurtful. If we are happy our words can
be joyful, happy, loving, and peaceful.
It has been said that our eyes are windows to our soul
and I believe that our words are also an indication of
who and what we are inside.

When we speak we use words to describe things, our
mind creates the picture. When we hear the words of a
song we do the same thing. Those words can either
build us up or tear us down. They help create positive
self esteem or break down our self esteem. Words
encourage us to be our best or they rip away our self
worth and trust in our abilities to reach goals and life’s
ambitions.

Words either give us hope or they bring despair. They
are key to how we learn. From birth we are taught to
communicate not only through touch, sight, and
sound but through words.

Almost every emotion we feel as a human being is
affected or created by the words we hear or say.
Proverbs 13 verse 3 says that whoever guards his
mouth preserves his life and he who opens his lips
wide comes to ruin. So even in silence our words are
powerful.

The very words we utter every day create the world we
live in. They have to power to crush countries and the
power to build nations anew.

Just for one day think about the words you use, think
about the affect they have on you and the people
around you. Use positive words instead of negative
and see if the results you receive are different. I can
bet you will be amazed.

Just a thought to think upon……………….
