Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.
Yehuda Berg
I came upon an old journal today, reading an entry that described a place I once visited with great delight. The words took me back there; a place of warmth, exotic wonderment, and adventure. Just one paragraph and I was reliving a completely different life, immersed in a world I had all but forgotten. Words have a power that few things do – the power to move us, to lift, to inspire, to make us think, discover new worlds and create our own.
Words also have the power to suppress; to repress our truest selves and even destroy pieces of ourselves that must be rebuilt in a different way. It is no coincidence that the word itself can so easily be built upon or altered to mean something vastly different but no less powerful – adding something so small as an “s” to create “Sword” or an “l” to create “World”.
The way that we use words to speak alters or even creates our persona – do we use our words to lift others, to inspire, or to berate, to destroy? How do the words we use regularly impact the way we interact with others, and the way others perceive us? For that matter, how do those same words impact the way we see ourselves, and the reality we create? Are we using the words we think and speak to create good; heaven on earth – or hell? Many may know of the studies and experiments by Masaru Emoto on how words can actually alter water molecules. How does this translate to humans; composed of more than 70% water? Or any other creature on earth, for that matter. Food for thought…
