The Value of a Word
I have heard that our brains have an internal conversation consisting of about 10,000 words per day. Yet, only about a 1000 of those words leave our mouth. That's about 1/10th of words we actually get to share with others.
Now think about what you say to others. Think about your conversations and the tone in which they are said.
Do you find yourself saying positive, affirming words?
Do your words portray politeness or hatred?
Are the words you share with your co-workers cooperative or negative?
Do you tell your children you love them? Often?
Do we make those 1000 words count when they leave our mouths?
When was the last time you told someone they were appreciated, loved, wanted? Or they did a great job, were smart, beautiful, kind, powerful, awesome?
Or were the words spoken words demeaning. Did you tell someone they were hated, ugly, stupid, unwanted or worthless.
Think about your words. They may not have value to you...but to someone else, your words hold weight.
