People might not realize it but words have amazing power. If you sit back and think about it you’ll realize that words are the number one way we interact with the world and others around us. Words are communication. Of course, there are other ways of communication, such as hand gestures or facial expressions, as I am sure you have seen if you have ever traveled to a foreign country, but you will also see how hard it is to communicate without words. Words have power.
Words can change your whole day or your whole life in an instant. Just imagine hearing the words “you just won the lottery”, and imagine how that would feel. We are pretty confident to say that it would change the way you feel almost immediately into euphoria. The fact that it would change your life, and turn it upside down, is also a fact. We tell you this just to give you an idea of how powerful words are. They are one of the most powerful forces in the world.
Just look at all the advertising in the world, and all the marketing, you will also see how powerful words can be. The government uses words to sway the public to do whatever they wish. Companies use words to sway you to buy whatever product they want. It’s almost like magic. All these words we are talking about from these companies are incoming, and you’re on the receiving end, but how about being able to change your life by the words you speak instead.
Just like others can influence you by their words, you can influence yourself by your own words. Changing how you say things, or how you speak to others, can make a large difference in your life. Something as simple as saying you are fantastic when someone asks you how you are can get the ball rolling for you to understand the power of the words. If you always try and use positive words, and remove the -ones from your vocabulary, you will find that you are yourself will become more positive, and life will become a lot less stressful. People around you will enjoy your company more, and become more positive as well.
People’s first instinct is to believe the words they hear. After they hear them, they get a process to the brain and it decides whether it’s true or not. But the first instinct is to believe what it is hearing. So the more you tell yourself something positive, the more you speak in positive tones, the more your brain will start to listen and believe you. So by the very act of speaking positively and happily, it is enough to kickstart your brain system into making you feel more positive and happy. So instead of believing in all those words that the marketers tell you, start using those same tricks on yourself, and believe your own words. It’s time.
So start thinking about how you can change the world by changing yourself. How you can change your words to make the world a better place. Saying good morning with a smile to somebody that is walking by, or being friendly to that barista when you’re buying your morning coffee, is a power. You have the power to make people feel better, and that goes a long way to make the world a better place.
