Words are Endowed with Power

Words can be extremely powerful, and how we use them in our lives is a very critical matter. We have the power to build or destroy lives and relationships at every level by our choice of words. While thoughts are always the derivative of words and actions: it's our words that can become the most obvious indicator of what we are thinking.

Everyone, no matter what his or her station in life, needs approval and encouragement. We often see stark and moody pictures in our minds of those in charge withholding praise from an employee or associate for a job well done. Or, another picture that comes to mind is a child hoping without success, that a parent, teacher, or friend, will acknowledge their achievements. While praise and words of encouragement should never be the main focus in a physical world, a word given in a positive manner at the right time can work miracles in someone's life.

The opposite can occur as well! The right word given, if the intent is to harm, at the right moment can do a great deal of damage to a person's confidence and faith. On the receiving end, a person has to move forward and ignore the power of negative words. If you're the kind of person that is self-confident, and aware of where you fit in the world, the negative energy won't find lodgment within your mind or soul. Most importantly, a kind word used in response of a negative one, will put the power right back in your hands-where it needs to be.
