If the pen is mightier than the sword, and the power of the tongue is mightier than a nuclear weapon.
I want to talk today about the power of spoken words, power for good or evil, controlling your tongue, and being perfect in your speech.
I’ll start with the story of my former lost Ron, who was the publisher of a small shopper in Eureka, California.
As part of his sales training, he taught us about the appreciation of the power of your spoken words.
He felt the words were very powerful one spoken with conviction, true belief, sincerity, and genuineness.
People will remember the things you spoke in that context. I remember him saying.
Words have the power for good.
Words have the power for blessing, building others up, empathy, healing, compliments, 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. And we need 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 has become extremely helpful to me. In both composing my thoughts and expressing my words.
It’s offered personal and professional growth, as I’ve learned to speak on the spot and control the delivery and nature of my speech.
So words have power. 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 probably never mastered.
