Use Your Words

Words matter

They hurt, they sooth

They lie and they reveal

What are your words

Where do they come from

When do you use them

How do you silence them

Are your words meant to comfort

To confuse

To console

To congratulate

Words have power

They can make or break you

What is your intention

Where is your filter

When do you filter

How can you best use your words

Words tell truths

Words tell lies

Words tell personality

Words tell culture

What are your words

How do you use them

    You're right, words can do so much damage, but they can also make you feel pretty good. We have to choose our words wisely.

    Words are powerful indeed. I've seen them build people up and tear them down. We gotta be careful how we use 'em, think about our intentions.
