The Power of Words

The words you choose can have a profound effect on any person, family member, or customer you're relating to. Words are everything: language is indeed the pathway to the unconscious mind. Words create brain activity. Whether it is of value or not, I can guarantee that, if you use a word of choice, you have created a pathway, and a fixed way of thinking. All words lead us to a specific destination in our mind along with all the associated feelings. As a child, my mom, one of the greatest teachers in the world, told me, "Daughter, watch your mouth." I never realized there were two sides to that statement. One side was how my words affect people at all levels, and the other side was how my words affected me. To this day, there are words that I have purposely removed from my vocabulary. Every word carries with it a consequence and a meaning. We choose these words to act as a vehicle-a vehicle to meet our needs. My success in life has stemmed from selecting only words that feed my mind, which do not turn my mind into a toxic dump. This is not a decision-this is a choice.
