WORDS ONLY!

Words are very vital and potent. They can make or Mar you, written or spoken, words are powerful. It’s a pity quite a number of us fail to understand how important the use of words are to our daily lives.
We have relegated our mouths to speaking alone aside the other physical things it can do. We fail to understand that it isn’t appropriate to just voice out without thinking. I know people say “I love to speak my mind” “I love to air out my feelings in the moment” Totally not a bad thing to do at all, but rather than just talk because your belly is constipated with a lot of data and you feel the only relief you would get would be to spit it out. Stop and think for a minute. You can take back a lot of things but not your words. As much as you try to make anger an excuse, you would always leave a mark on people. Bad words are like holes in walls, it penetrates and later shatters it, Be slow to speak and quick to listen. Don’t jump in on every conversation because you feel your contribution is needed or valuable.
Positive or negative, words has lasting effect, it lingers on on the mind of the hearer or reader for a long time. And guess what your choice of words shows to an extent not just how knowledgeable you are but the quality of the info you feed your mind, you can’t eat rice expecting to vomit lettuce when you feel sick to your stomach.
Learn how to compliment people,
Learn to say thank you,
Learn to say I’m sorry,
This very little things can go a long way it can bring hope to someone at the verge of a mental breakdown it can bring smile to the face of a frustrated man, it can send beautiful memories to the heart of that lonely girl.
I have seen sound men lapse into depression from constantly listening to uncultured words, great destinies gradually go into shambles because they dwelt on negative words..it sounds like a lie right trust me this things happen and is still happening till we make a choice to be careful with our choice of words.
Choose your words wisely, every word counts…be the change.. positive words only. peace
