The Power of Words


Photo credit: M-C
I've always known that words have power.  I'm a writer after all.
But I don't always apply what I know.  With the titles of my blog posts, for instance.  What a difference a title can make. 

More importantly, words have power as we use them every day.  With our friends and co-workers, with our family, and with the people we meet on the street. 

We influence each other.  We reinforce each other. 

We become what we think about and what we say.

The following video on YouTube just reminded me of this.



"Change your words.  Change your world."

Let us use our words more consciously.

Hi Judy. This video represents the kind of story that should be shown on the news or TV more often, to teach or remind us of what's good about the world and how to make it a better place.
