Your Words...They Matter

”Words can inspire. And words can destroy. Choose yours well.” - Robin Sharma Over the last few weeks, I’ve just started listening. To myself. To others. To coaches. To employees at various stores. To other customers. I’ve witnessed so many words. Some have been kind, full of life, encouraging, and helpful. Others have been rude, discouraging, sharp, and unproductive. When we speak, we must make an effort to evaluate our words.  When you speak to yourself, what kinds of words are you using? Are you filling your mind with doubt, fear, worry, anxiety, or comparison? Or, are you filling your mind with confidence, grace, courage, boldness, or joy? Those words impact your actions. If you are speaking to someone else, how are you speaking to them? Are you empowering them, building them up, and making them feel like they can accomplish big things? Or, are you picking them apart, criticizing everything, or making them feel like they aren’t good enough? I hope that this week's episode challenges you to take a good look at the words you speak to yourself and to others. What would happen if we used our words to build up instead of tear down? Enjoy!
