When I speak, I don't necessarily always realize the impact my words can have on someone. Yet, I recall sentences that were said to me that have marked and even transformed my life. Words are a powerful weapon which needs to be handled with care.
Words can be used to give love and positive energy to others. Complimenting, encouraging, being positive can have a tremendous effect on people around you. And that positive energy you give out always comes back to you. Whatever you throw into the universe WILL come back. It's the boomerang effect. Choosing positive words will therefore definitely impact your life in a positive way.
Words are at the basis of communication. People often get into conflicts not because of the message they are trying to convey, but because of the words they use.
The problem is that often emotion gets in the way. If a woman is irritated with her husband because he has left his dirty smelly socks in the middle of the living room, the negative emotion might take over and make the choice of words more challenging. But taking the time to choose the right words can make the difference between conflict and harmony.
Words can also impact self-confidence and self-esteem. Using sentences such as "I can't do it" or "I don't know how" or "I'm not that good" all convey a message of failure that could end up affecting someone's ability to pursue a goal.
There are many things in our lives we cannot control. But we have complete control over the words we use to express ourselves. So to become happier, why not choose to communicate thoughts, emotions and even frustration with positive words? Who knows, it might positively impact your wellbeing more than you think!
