Over the last few days, and especially today, I’ve been discovering again just how powerful words are. The words that come out of my own mouth – and dare I say – the words that come across through my fingers through the keyboard – are perhaps much more powerful than I give thought to.
Words that I don’t even remember speaking – or worse yet, never spoke, but somehow were heard – have returned in the form of “hurt” – as in, someone else is hurt by something I said or didn’t say but were assumed that I did.
What I’ve learned through a few experiences over the past few weeks:
– Live a life of integrity.
– Know that words are powerful.
– Mean what I say, say what I mean.
– Confront confrontation – even when I don’t want to.
