The Power of Words

"Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness."  ~Jim Rohn~ 

I've been thinking about starting a blog for a very long time. I finally got to work at creating it and now I'm ready for my very first entry! While it was still in the creating stage, I began thinking about what my topic would be for my premiere post. A thought would come to me, and it wasn't quite right, so I'd write it in my notebook for a future installment. (I've got about two months of ideas right now. yayyy me!) I knew when right words came to me, I would know it.

One day, I had been clearing out a plastic container that had been full of magazines, to use for something else, and a small piece of a magazine that had been cut out and was still in the container, had fallen onto the floor. I put the container down and thought to myself  "Whatever is written on that piece of paper, I am meant to read right now."  I leaned over to pick it up, and read the words "The Power of Words". I had my first blog topic. A blog is made up of words that form a message to the reader, after all.

We are surrounded by words; words we speak to ourselves, to others, words we hear in conversation, on the radio, tv, or read in print. Words have the power to heal, and the power to hurt, They have the power to bring us back to another time, or to thrust us forward towards our goals and dreams. Words also come in thought form and thoughts create our reality.

What are the primary words in your current reality? What words do you tell yourself? Are your words healing? Or hurtful... to yourself or others? What reality are you creating with your words? Words are powerful; and with power comes responsibility. Use them wisely. And be kind to yourself.  =)
