Every Word You Say Becomes

Part Of Your Story 

If someone listened in on your conversations, would their life be changed for the better or worse? Would they hear spite and mean spiritedness or would they hear you building others up and talking about ideas, not gossip? 

Stop for a moment and think about the last time you said something you regret. Maybe you were hurt, angry, jealous, afraid or worried. 

Maybe for a small moment it felt good to release that pent up emotion.... but the more you thought about it, the more it didn’t feel good. It didn’t feel like who you wanted to be. 

That’s because we all know how powerful words can be. 

Great leaders can create a whole movement and change societies with just their words. 

Words can free nations. 

But they can also destroy them. 

That’s why it’s so important to think carefully about what you want to say, before you say it. 

Most of us speak without thinking. 

This is especially true online. It’s become so easy to send a snarky text or write a mean comment because we can type it out then walk away. We don’t see the physical reaction of the person on the other end, or hear the hurt in their voice when they respond back.
