Words have extraordinary power.
Life and death are wrapped within the syllables.
The impact is incalculable.
There is simply no way to be fully human alone.
Our words are the chisels the sculpture human hearts.
Understanding, acceptance, kindness and compliment are the
artistic tools that create masterpieces.
Human beings blossom under the fertile soils of thoughtful
words.
When you say I look nice I feel attractive
When you say what I did was amazing, I feel inspired
When you say you are proud of me I feel rewarded.
When you say thank you I feel appreciated.
When you say please I feel needed.
When you say I love you I feel loved.
When you ask for my advice, I feel intelligent.
When you say I can do anything, I feel powerful.
When you acknowledge me publicly, I feel proud.
When you remember my name, I feel important.
When you praise me I feel confident.
When you defend me I feel secure.
When you hug me I feel safe.
When you accept me I feel validated.
When you smile at me I feel happy.
When you laugh with me I feel funny.
When you compliment me, I feel recognized.
When you say I forgive you, I feel forgiven
When you say I’m sorry, I feel no need to justify myself.
When you say you value my opinion, I feel wise.
