The Power of Your Words

The power of your spoken words
If the pen is mightier than the sword, and the power of the tongue is mightier than a nuclear weapon.
Let’s address the power of spoken words, power for good or evil, controlling your tongue, and being perfect in your speech.
How about the appreciation of the power of your spoken words? Your very words are extremely powerful when spoken with conviction, true belief, sincerity, and genuineness.
People will remember the things you spoke in that context of authenticity, genuineness and sincerity. They are remembered long after they are spoken.
Words have the power for good.
Words have the power for blessing, building others up, empathy, healing, encouragement, and truly showing love.
Can you think of an example of some really good use of your words?
Words have the power for evil.
Words have the power for discouragement, tearing down, nagging, cutting, anger, and depression.
Can you think of some examples of some really good, evil regarding the use of your words?
Life is a choice. We need to choose to control our tongues.
You are your words. Self-control and discipline are a key necessity as your mouth expresses the fruit or nature of your heart. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
This is where true integrity begins and ends.
Toastmasters International has become extremely helpful to me both in composing my thoughts and expressing my words and heart.
It has offered personal and professional growth, as I’ve learned to speak on the spot and control the delivery and nature of my speech, content, and non-verbal communication.
So words have power. They have power for good or for evil.
Train your tongue and exercise self-controlled discipline. Prepare your speech, think before you speak. Speaking well is a learned art and can be at least improved upon, but possibly never mastered.

Got a Vision or a Mission?

Vision and Mission

They say to follow your dream, but first you have to wake up.”–Bill Cosby

It is not hard to make decision when you know what your values are.”
-Walt Disney

Start with the big picture—put first things first.
Experts in the fields of psychology and personal effectiveness now recognize it if you feel upset or an uneasy about your lack of personal time, it’s not because you have too much to do. It’s because you not satisfied with most of what you do. Determine what’s most important in your life.
1. Ask such questions as what’s most important?
2. What gives your life meaning?
3. What do you want to be and to do with your life?
Clarity on these issues is critical because the answers to these questions affect everything else in your life—your goals, the decisions you make in the way you spend your time, and so much more.
The need for a balanced life—
If you don’t think balance in your life is vitally important to your happiness, success and health. Consider this: there is considerable evidence showing that mishandled stress at home interferes with work performance, and mishandled job pressure creates and magnifies problems at home. Research shows that the quality of your personal relationships strongly influences job productivity, disease resistance and longevity. Conversely, people who have value power over family and friendships appear to have a harder time fighting off disease and sickness.
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Can success in one area of life compensate for failure in another?
2. Can success in your profession compensate for a broken marriage or ruined health?
3. Can success in the community justify failure as a parent?

Important: success or failure in any role you have contributes to the quality of every other role, and your life as a whole. Keep balance in your life. Identify your various roles and keep them right in front of you so that you don’t neglect important areas such as your health, your family, your community involvement, or personal development. Evaluating your various roles and attaching a new level of priority in each is another important step in becoming balanced and aligned and a whole person.

Enjoy life—
The matter what your circumstance or how uncertain future, you can still be filled with enjoyment, humor, and a good attitude. Don’t let fear or anxiety keep you from experiencing the happiness that life has to offer. Go to a local park, enjoy the fresh air, and have fun. Have friends over for dinner. Spend time with family. Think about what activities you enjoy and go do them!
