If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative. ~ Betty Eadie
How often do we speak without first thinking? Probably often. We don’t consider the power of our words, or how deeply they can hurt, how deeply they can heal.

We sometimes observe in humans what you call “idle chatter”—words without real meaning or effects.
But there is no such thing as idle chatter. Words are powerful tools you all have available to you. And you can wield them for good or for ill.
How often have you felt hurt by the words of another? Or how often have you hurt another with your words?
Every word you utter has powerful effects on, first of all, yourself. But your words also affect, positively or negatively, those immediately around you and far beyond your immediate circle.
Take some time to think about all this. How often do you speak without thinking, blissfully ignorant of the power of your words?
You are all powerful beings. The energy you radiate through your words can harm or heal. Wield your power with kindness and with love. Then only kindness and love will be returned to you.

I rarely speak without thinking but sometimes I slip up. I’m more of the silent watcher.
Words are hurtful or loving, indeed this is true. I know words are things and the what we say not only to others but to ourselves can carry dire consequences in our lives. Or can bring joy and love.
What we send out in the universe comes back , we can’t recall it but we can change our way of thinking. Sometimes it’s hard for habits are hard to break but that is not beyond each of us. We are capable of great things and if all it takes is a change of thought, a change of word, don’t you think we can all do this.
Two more months a scant of 8 weeks spring is here! My happy time!!
Last thought on this: Don’t react but let be and grow in the LIght!
Brilliant post John!
love and hugs to all
