Words have tremendous power, they give out energy and a message that evokes a reaction in others.
Everything you say produces an effect in the world. Whatever you say to someone else will produce some kind of effect in that person. We are constantly creating something positive or negative with our words.
Reaction to our words often returns to us often in a multiplied form. Recently I came across the work of Dr Masaru Emoto, (http://www.whatthebleep.com/crystals) and his studies on water crystals.
He took samples of water, froze them and took photographs of the water crystals.
He then wrote words on vials of water taken from the same source. The crystals formed in the vials, which had positive words, such as love and gratitude, were beautiful.
However, the crystals in the vials with negative words such as hate and evil were very different, and the water didn’t even form crystals in some instances.
Experiments were done using words from different languages and also by the scientists having no knowledge of what the words meant. The results were similar.
Although I find the concepts of quantum physics difficult to grasp the findings of this study on water crystals has had a profound impact on me.
The human body is composed of up to 90 percent water. If words had such a significant impact on water crystals, then what is the impact of positive and negative words on our bodies?
An important key to success in life is to understand the power of words.
A word is a thought that is internalised. Our thoughts do have a great effect on us even though they are internal.
What we think effects the way we live our life. It affects our emotions, our attitudes and our behaviour.
A thought spoken, however, has even more power. It can never be taken back.
The moment those thoughts leave our mouth as words they will have an effect.
Our words have even more power than our thoughts because they not only affect ourselves, but the people and the world around us.
Successful people among us normally take control of their words, rather than letting their words control them.
They are more conscious of their thoughts and words and the power they unleash.
They understand that they need to speak positively rather than negatively in order to see success.
Their words characterise them and they know the importance of speaking words that will build self-esteem, confidence, relationships and possibilities.
They also speak words of affirmation, encouragement, love, acceptance and appreciation.
To see more personal and national success, the words that we speak need to be aligned with what we want to see being produced in our life — our vision and our dreams.
Your words can determine your destiny. Even more importantly, your words can make a positive difference on the people you interact with every day.
Before you speak ask yourself the following questions. Is what I am about to say going to uplift the hearer? Will it inspire, motivate, and create forward momentum for them? Will it dissolve fear and create safety and trust?
Will I create a positive or negative ripple effect by speaking out these words?
Let’s be determined to unleash the power of words for positive change.
