THE POWER OF YOUR WORDS

“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.” Yehuda Berg.

What you say is important!

Your words have the power to arouse or slay the life force in any mortal. Your words can kindle energy or breed despair. Your words have the potency to heal or break—both yourself and others.

The defects in our character as well as the merits of our virtue will be reflected on the tip of our tongue.  Since the human tongue is only few inches away from the brain, the words we speak unmistakably express the working process of our minds. Whether we like it or not, our words will mirror the state of our mental attitude; be it positive or negative.

 

A thing is distinguished by means of its characteristics and effects. Likewise, the sagacity or folly of a person becomes visible first by means of his/her words and second by his/her deeds. When we truly understand the amazing power of our words, we would choose silence to almost anything unconstructive. This is because through mere words, feelings can be hurt or soothed: courage can be instilled or fear implanted; lives can be destroyed or changed for the better. 

For that reason, we must learn to replace pessimism with optimism in every word we utter. This is what the Australian television writer and author of “The Secret,” Rhonda Byrne has to teach us today. She once shared a practical example on this topic with her audience; which I am going to share with you now to explain further the incredible power of your words. 

She narrated thus:

“I had a friend whose life was perfect. She always said to me, "I'm truly blessed." 

I thought, "Of course you're blessed; your life is perfect." ….

Even during a difficult time, circumstances moved to take care of everything for her. 

When I remarked on this she repeated, "I'm truly blessed." 

I never put it together until I discovered The Secret; it was her words that BROUGHT her blessed and perfect life!”

REINVENT YOURSELF WITH YOUR TONGUE

As the American teacher, Charles Capps proclaimed, “Words are the most powerful thing in the universe. Words are containers. They contain faith, or fear, and they produce after their kind.” As a result, we must use the power of our words to create an ideal image of the reality that we would like to see.

Therefore, I want to encourage you from now on to tell yourself that you can do what may seem to be beyond your endowed capability; instead of readily telling yourself that you can’t.

For example….

Whenever you doubt you can run a business successfully, TELL YOURSELF that you can.

If you think you can’t lead others well, SAY TO YOURSELF that you can.

When it crosses your mind that you can’t win, AFFIRM TO YOURSELF ALOUD that you can.

Just try to MAKE YOURSELF BELIEVE what you are saying; and the way to do that is by consistently doing something—no matter how trivial—in alignment with your chosen affirmations.

Furthermore, I am going to add the following statements which you can say to yourself everyday to feel vibrant and energetic in the pursuit of your dreams. They are as follows:

I am grateful for all of my experiences.

I have faith that everything will work out fine.

I have what it takes to reach my goals.

I can, and I will. 

It behooves us to be careful of what we say to ourselves regularly as Republican politician, George Burnham admonished us this way. He said, “’I can’t do it’ never accomplished anything. {But} ‘I will try’ has performed wonders.”

Of course, delusional saying of great words doesn’t magically make things happen. Yet, the power of words is a proven ingredient of success. Genuine affirmations {with discipline} have helped realize the unachievable for countless number of greats.

Lastly, know that integrity is the foundation of a disciplined life; which means you must say only what is good, and then endeavour to be true to what you have professed.
