What do , Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere, John
F Kennedy, Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln have in common ? Not
only were they powerful politicians of their time, they were also good
leaders who understood the power of words.
Do you remember when someone’s words hurt you?
Perhaps they called you “skinny,” “stupid,” or “ugly.” It probably felt
like someone had slapped you.
How about when someone’s words made you feel
great, such as “you are wonderful,” “that was an excellent job,” “I love
you.”? I’ll bet you can remember the exact words and tone.
Words can comfort when you’re feeling sad, inspire
you to take action, acknowledge others for a job well done, humiliate
you, make you laugh, stimulate your thoughts, educate you, or incite
violence.
Regardless of what language you speak, your ideas
or thoughts manifest through the word. What you dream, what you feel,
and what you really are, will all be manifested through words.
Words are not just sounds or written symbols; they
are a force; they have power through which you can express and
communicate, and think, and thereby create the events in your life.
We understand what it means to “give our word” and pledge on our honour (maybe our very souls) and to speak the truth.
Words convey love and build trust. They also shape
character and soften hearts; certainly you know your words shape your
children and if you are wise you choose them carefully.
Language is the most powerful tool you have as a
human, it is the tool of magic. But like a sword with two edges, your
word can create the most beautiful dream, or your word can destroy
everything around you.
One edge is the misuse of words which creates a living hell.
The other edge is the impeccability of words,
which will only create beauty, love and heaven on earth. Depending upon
how they are used, words can set you free, or can enslave you even more
than you know.
All the magic you possess is based on your words.
