My development as a person is a never-ending journey, a journey that leads me to new destinations each day. On this day I have come down the path of word choice. Your words have power. I know the preceding sentence may seem incomplete, but it’s not. I chose to put it there because my understanding of its meaning has deepened. Those four words should be the preamble to every conversation that you have, they are the foundation of good communication even, and especially with your self.

It was not until I gained the confidence and maturity to open up enough to share the words within me with others, that I stumbled upon this revelation. Though some may not believe in its existence, words are magical, they have the ability to move people, to change emotions, to fill with strength or strip of power. They are the alchemy that was reated by our distant ancestors, and an algorithm that can be easily misunderstood or misused.

As a writer I am constantly searching for new and innovative ways to connect and impart messages. Like cooking a meal, the way in which a message is prepared, can greatly change the flavor, just like the way a sentence is structured leaves a different taste in one’s mouth.

Think twice and speak once, wise words indeed, a wisdom that I think I finally have a greater understanding of. Language is a medium that is used to create a connection between two or more beings. Its a form of energy that can be static or kinetic, you can write it in a book or pass it on to someone else in conversation, either way its impact can be immense.

Your words have power, and that power comes from within you. Lying in each and every one of us is a pool of energy that we must learn to tap into and use wisely. Use your power for good, uplift both friends and strangers, and more importantly use your power to uplift your self.

Speak into existence your triumphs, Speak into existence your growth, Speak into existence your peace, and you will one day speak into existence your purpose. Your words have power.
