<h3>Words have Power?</h3>
 
I think I was around 18 years old when I heard a sermon about words having power. 
 
When I watched \"The Secret\" again just recently, this thought of \"Words Have Power\" kept repeating in my head and I started observing people again.... as usual. This time I really wanted to listen to the words that people choose and observe what kind of emotions they are feeling... of course, me being the analytical person that I am, I then try to deduce what kind of mind-frame that person is living in, manifesting what kind of life. The question that I ask myself through these observations are then... How powerful are words, in relation to manifested reality? What does it take for people to be aware this cause-effect and choose to change something as simple as their words... or is it really that simple? 
 
There is an example that I would like to share today: 
 
A man who is talking to a friend over coffee. His friend asked: \"How has our day been?\" and the answer was terrible! It went along the lines of \"That STUPID client of mine... DAMN troublesome. Cannot make a simple decision... so KIASEE (aka cowardly)! Waste my time. No Balls! ..... He went on and on and I was feeling so irritated by the negative vibes, I changed table..... but here\'s the observation. In a short span of 15 mins, 3 other phone calls came in for this man and all of them were \"bad\". One was about a deal that just got stolen by another agent, one was from an unhappy client asking for a refund and another one sounded like it was his wife on the other line and he was trying to shove her away by giving justifications that he was on a phone call. I saw this and I thought to myself: \"I can\'t imagine the kind of self talk that is happening in his mind on a daily basis. He must be suffering a great deal.\" As for his friend, It seemed like he was being really nice to be a listening ear but I could see that he was feeling uneasy. I wonder what is his relationship with his wife like? If only this man could realise that his words are causing him anguish and possibly attracting more negativity and unhappiness in his life. 
 
I\'ve got a friend who regularly uses the word \"Sorry\", almost in every conversation and talks a lot about how his boss treating him like a doormat. Is that word \"Sorry\" feeding the insecurity? 
 
Another friend keeps using the word \"Stressed\" and constantly falls sick. What\'s the connection there? 
 
I\'ve got another friend who uses the word \"Busy\" all the time but doesn\'t seem to be able to get her job done on time. Always asking for extension of deadline. 
 
On a positive light, I also got a friend who always says he\'s GREAT and he says it with gusto! He has probably one of the most loving couple relationships I\'ve ever seen. 
 
So, do you think words have power? 
 
In my humble opinion, words HAVE power. They are like the constant seeds that are being sown daily, growing into the harvest that we\'ll have to reap one day. It affects every part of a person\'s life. Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually and Physically. Words are the medium in which we send our thoughts out into the universe, attracting back the same vibrations that are sent. My encouragement to you is to constantly be aware of the words that you use, cos words come forth from your thoughts, interpretations and belief systems, which inevitably shape or reinforce who you are. It becomes a self expression of who you are, thereby shaping the \"reality\" that you live in. It is so simple and yet powerful. 
 
Watch your words my friend, choose them wisely, make it a habit. They could shape and nurture, they could also destroy. Choose healthy words. My wish for you is for you to have a happy, fulfilling life, with wonderful relationships.
