Words Are Powerful

 

Wise is the man, wise is the woman, who speaks words that breathe life and build up and encourage and affirm.  Wise is the person who is forever alert to speak words of life, to a child, a spouse, a friend, a student, a neighbor, a co-worker, a stranger, a store clerk, someone who looks troubled.
 
Life-giving words!  We can change lives forever!  Words like these:

·         I love you. 

·         I respect you. 

·         I believe in you. 

·         I am so proud of you! 

·         You can do this! 

·         You are so good at painting! 

·         I love the way you shared your toys with your brother. 

·         Could I pray for you right now? 

·         You are going to get through this, for God will see you through. 

·         I have been praying for you every day. 

·         I am so sorry; will you forgive me? 

·         Thank you so much for that gift.

When words like these are spoken from the heart, they breathe life into people.

Life Is Not Calm


The world we live in is chaotic. There is a lot going on. The same is true for our lives and our businesses. We face challenges. We have hurdles. Rough patches happen. Nothing worth accomplishing is easy. Good things are likely to be difficult and messy, but that is life. Smooth sailing is a myth.

Remember…nobody's success story sounded calm while they were creating it.

Extra Gear

 

Do you have an extra gear? Can you summon up more strength when needed? Can you work at a faster pace when facing a deadline? Do you really step up your game in times of crisis or under pressure? I think most of us can, and do!

Everyone discovers an extra gear under pressure. The rare skill is accessing that extra gear without being under pressure.

Change

 

We humans are not great at change. Our basic nature resists it. But change is a part of life. It is necessary for personal and professional growth. Our inability to change and adapt is often a roadblock to solutions. We seldom see ourselves as the problem. We think others need to change, not us!

The only controllable variable in many situations is you! Oddly, it is the last thing we want to change or adjust. You, may be the problem.
