Power of Words
Words are powerful. Spoken, written, or simply the words we use in our own minds -all words have potential power
What’s really powerful about words? Why does our linguistic ability help to define us in the scope of our abilities and potential? How can we use words and their power to our advantage?
The choices we make with our language sets the parameters for our lives. The skill of expression we possess can contribute to many facets of our ability to succeed personally and professionally. The real power in words is their meaning and interpretation. That is also the real power in life
Determining the meaning of events in our lives, and our responsibility to choose to find an empowering meaning are some of the most important things we can ever grasp. If we choose a disempowering meaning that is our choice. When something happens to us, we can consciously control our verdict on the positive or negative meaning behind it. Our first reactions to something aren’t always conscious, but then we can step in and reframe the meaning.
For example, let’s say you failed a test. Does this mean that you’re a failure? Or does this mean that you now know areas you need to work on in order to improve? That’s up to us to determine, and even if we feel like a failure initially — we can step in and transform what the failure means to us internally. We can cultivate a positive interpretation of nearly all events in our lives.
