The Power of Our Words

The words that shape our lives are the words we speak in the morning before we start our usual routines. They are also the words we speak all through the day and evening. In fact, they are all the words we speak, and even the words we think, our thoughts.

Our words are really that powerful. This is true whether our words are positive or negative. That being the case, we are wise to follow two simple rules. Speak only words that express positive thoughts. Say nothing that expresses a negative thought of any kind.

What is a negative thought? It is any thought that acknowledges or suggests lack of any kind, or anger, fear, envy, jealousy, or any other idea incompatible with one’s personal view of goodness.

What is a positive thought? It is any thought that acknowledges fulfillment, prosperity, success, health, love, or any other idea wholly compatible with one’s personal view of goodness.

Remember that this is not only a possible outcome; it is an inescapable law of mind. Each word we speak will affect our lives and the lives of those close to us. Negative thinking and speaking will inevitably bring about damage. Positive thinking and speaking will just as surely bring about positive circumstances and experiences.
