Power in Words. I know I just talked about this a couple of days ago, but recent events bring it back to the forefront. There is power in words. When you are in a position of influence, the things that you say take on greater meaning. The words of a parent to a child have a direct effect on how that child views themselves. The words of a teacher, counselor, clergyman, etc. can be used to uplift or belittle. Don Miguel Ruiz said it best when he said that we need to be “impeccable with our words”. Whatever your station is in life, your words are generally something you can control. From where I sit, I will watch my tongue!
