Did you know the words you speak influence you and other people?
The quality of your life to a large extent is determined by how positively or negatively you speak about your life. Your words matter, and they are very powerful.
The bible says, “In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, and the word was God.” John 1:1
Words have creative power. It created the world that we live in and eventually our lives.
If you look at how beautiful the world is, then you should only pick the very best words to build your own life.
I discovered that people have become conditioned to talking about their problems and communicating it in vivid details to their listeners. It is important to realize that when something is said out loud enough times, those words become the truth, not only in your own mind but in the minds of everyone you are saying them to.
Also, negative words repeated long enough become your reality.
This leads to an important question you should ask yourself- do you really want to tell yourself and everybody that you are unsuccessful, depressed and broke? or whatever else it is that you have been complaining about? Especially now that you know that it is these exact words that are creating the life that you live?
From now, begin to choose the words that you speak consciously. Avoid negative words such as ‘can’t’, ‘won’t’. They strip you of your ability to manifest the life that you want to live.
There is a saying that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”.
I beg to disagree. Words do hurt and we who use them have a responsibility to do so with an awareness of the impact they may have.
There are correct and incorrect ways to use words. So, choose your words wisely before you speak, both publicly and privately. At the end of the day, I discovered it all boils down to discipline. When you discipline yourself privately to speak words that build and edify, you will not speak carelessly in public. Your words equal your world, so choose them wisely.
Good relationships can be destroyed suddenly when a storm of angry words rain down. The sting of cruel words can make you second guess your self-worth and can make you hold back in that relationship to guard your heart. Always speak from a place of love; to yourself, to your life and to others.
Someone reading this is probably asking “How can I change my discourse?”
Next time you catch yourself about to use negative words, regain control and choose your words wisely, so that they have a much more positive impact on your world.
Remind yourself of who you are, where you are going and what you want to achieve by starting each morning with a positive affirmation.
I am blessed.
I am at peace.
I am full of joy.
I can do all things.
I have abundance.
I defy failure today.
I work excellently.
Your words are the paint with which you paint your reality. Choose your words wisely and positively to build a life that is good for you.
