Words Are Revealing (1372 hits)

Choosing our words wisely is one of the most responsible things that we can do, because we can not take back words once they leave our mouth. Once we have spoken, we are held accountable for the words that were said and we have to accept whatever positive or negative reactions we receive from our statement.



One of the best pieces of advice I have ever received was to respond only when I am ready. The advice was not saying to ignore the person speaking to me, but to choose my words wisely and respond when my words have been chosen. This means that I am fully aware of the words that I say and I am prepared to stand behind them 100%.



We all have the power to give a lasting impression with just our words.



-People will consider us negative if our words and tone are negative.



-People will consider us positive if our words and tone are positive.



-People will consider us pessimistic if our words are full of defeat.



-People will consider us optimistic if our words are full of hope.



-People will consider us untrustworthy if our words are not consistent.



-People will consider us honest if we are willing to stand behind every word.



Not only do our words reflect the way other people see us, they also reflect who we are and who we will become.



"My word is my bond."

"If you wish to know the mind of a man, listen to his words."

-- Chinese Proverb



What passes over your lips each day?



Are your words typically negative, critical, gossiping, deceptive, illusory, justifying, blaming, manipulative and argumentative? Are they more uplifting, inspirational, positive, questioning, beautiful, loving, universal, truthful, accepting and supportive?



The throat is our center of expression. Who we are sneaks out in our attitudes and in what we say.



"Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs."

-- Pearl Strachan Hurd



"The wise weigh their words on a scale with gold."

-- Bible
