Oh, the Power of the Word
In the beginning there was the Word, and the word was God….
That’s very old code for: You are the creator of your own life and experience, and the thoughts and words you use create that reality… Powerful concepts, filled with the wonder and thrill of endless creativity, but also with the responsibility for the consequences that come with the act of creation…
I’ve been playing with words a lot lately, and the idea of truth telling…
Do you speak what’s real for you and can you just let that out, or do you censor yourself, choose the words and the timing of saying what it is you have to say?
Words have power – the power to create or destroy, nurture or wound, empower or disempower… How much do you think about that power that you’re wielding every time you open your mouth to let out those small or big , hard or soft words?
It seems to me that for many of us the challenge is to move from a place where we were too intimidated to speak up and speak out to one where we are committed to expressing who we are and what we really think. For others, it might be the reverse – learning, deciding that at this point in our lives we might become quieter, more deliberate, more reflective…
Where are you on that continuum?
