Words are Powerful Beyond Measure

Last week I was getting ready to do a series of writings on the laws that govern our lives.  I was all set to examine just how and why some people seem to get all of the breaks while others always seem to come up short of what they want most in their lives.  I was meditating on the idea and decided to watch a couple of videos which went into greater detail about these super laws when I came across a video of a young woman who was giving a lecture on what it meant to be connected to the universe and how being connected manifested itself into our everyday lives.  She went on to talk about the discarding of the universal super laws in her life and instead focusing on being above those laws.  She was talking about the validity of being above what you desire most and simply just being.

I thought about what she said, about the words coming out of her mouth and about the way in which she was portraying her message with such meaningfulness in her breath.  I took so much stock in what she was saying at the time that it discouraged me from doing the writing that I had planned to do.

The more I thought about what she said the more it melted into my consciousness.  For the past week I have thought on her talk many times.  The problem with what she said wasn't the point she was trying to get across, but instead it was how she said what she wanted to convey, the problem was in her word choice and her delivery.

This conclusion led me to a great discovery… Just how powerful are the words we speak, just how meaningful are the sounds that pour forth from our mouth?

The answer is: VERY POWERFUL.

I consider myself someone who is very steadfast in his way of life and his views of the world, but I am also open for the evolution process to take place in my life at any moment. 

I allowed this lady’s representation of her universe to stop me from doing what I knew to be the right thing.  I allowed her words to mold me a little bit and as a consequence I never wrote the piece on the laws that govern our reality.  But what the week did teach me was something of even greater importance and something a little less ethereal… WORDS ARE POWERFUL.

The old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” came to mind.  I think that’s partially right, but in many ways, completely wrong.  Words are the pouring out of our thoughts, thoughts are the energy of our emotions, and emotions are the mind's deciphering of our feelings. 

Words can either lift someone up to achieve greatness or they can break someone down to a base level of unworthiness.  The biggest secret in this world that most people only give lip service to is that we’re all worthy, we’re all creative beings capable of achieving our greatest goals and aspirations.  We are all essentially the same thing in different costumes, but when someone fails to realize that they can be a detriment to many with their words they consequently fail to realize the power of their tongues.

If you have ever had a coach or a teacher that was a magical motivator then you know the power that words can have, they can lift and inspire the young and the old alike for pursuits of greater purpose; the flip side of this is also true.  Someone’s words, if you allow them to, can make you feel like less than you actually are, they can make you feel less than whole.

Every day of our lives we have conversations with others where we talk about everything under the sun, from what TV shows we watch to what life really means to us.  We convey our thoughts through our words and our words through our actions.  We are liable for everything that spews forth from our tongues. 

Next time you think about tearing someone down or persuading someone not to reach their full potential in something, stop and think about the ramifications that your words can have.  Do you want to be responsible for another person’s sorrow or sadness?  Do you want to be the reason another person doesn't live up to their potential?  Or, do you want to be the catalyst for that person to be the best that they can be?  Do you want to be the voice that gives their dreams wings? Do you want to be the soft whisper that puts their life into proper motion?

Our words are powerful beyond measure.  Our words can give life to love or they can give death to hope.  

Does your world need more negativity or more positive influence?  Do you want more love or more fear in your life?

Talking negatively about someone serves no purpose, being negative in your speech helps little to grow, but if you focus on building people up and speaking only words of love and hope you can be sure that your words will be fruitful in their pursuits.

If you choose negativity, please for my sake and for those I love around me, stay as far away from me as possible, because that's probably the most positive influence you can have on my life.

The law of attraction states that we draw near to us that which we are... If you're negative in nature then you will never have the positive results you so dearly desire.  It's time to wake up people, it's time to take responsibility for your words and your actions and start living the lives you love and not the lives you fear.
