The power of spoken words.
Each word spoken carries with itself the seed of Sucex- it has the capacity to fulfill what it was uttered for whether good or bad. Each time we utter words that have negative effect on our hearers we lose a part of our peace of mind, we lose a part of our ability to use our word to create good things.
“A gentle answer turn away wrath but a harsh word stirs up strife”- Holy writ
Each negative word uttered reinforces our believe in negativity or our believe that the world is a bad place , it unsettled us at the deeper levels of the mind,
“thunder fire you ”
“God punish you”
“it will not be better for you”
“you will never be good”
From a personal experience, i find that whenever I use a negative word on someone, i experience a little crisis within the hours following the spoken word. I don’t know of you but I believe that if you take the time to observe yourself after abusing people, you may find one little negative thing happen to you.
Life and death is in the tongue, the things we say has the power to uplift us or to dampen us we can chose the good path.
You can chose to consciously observe yourself and refrain from speaking negative whenever you are tempted to. Rather, you can speaks words of faith and positive intention.
A second use of the power of words is in creating our Sucex. We are powerful and have the power to transform our world to reflect our noble ideals. In this light, we can chose to transform our life events to take a more positive turn, ?How.
Speak positive words even when all seems wrong cos the words you speak will transform the situation.
Back in my school days, in 2003, I moved to a new hostel, the new hostel was abit off town and a lonely area (monaque avenue,uguaji enugu), we had the challenge of getting bike to school cos taxi don’t run the road and the only bikes you see are bikes who bring in students home, this made it difficult to get to school since only a few students came back home in the morning. for someone to get bike easily, he will have to walk for about 15 minutes to the main road and even that just gives just to 50%, you may stand there and it becomes worse to get bike.
Initially I always contemplated this challenge seeking for what to do then one day while bathing I just uttered the word “I will get a bike easily”, then when I was wearing my cloth, i held on to my spoken word (with a mixed feeling of anger and faith. Anger that this challenge was too much and faith that it will work), as soon as a stepped out of our hostel, i saw a bike, and I boarded him to school. Since this worked, i started using the spoken word daily to get my bike. sometimes when in the mist of discussion with my neighbours and they complain about the challenge of getting bike, i give them my formula and some will laugh me off. I used this for over 6 months then somehow I started to doubt myself, i asked why I should always get bikes
“was it magic, how come”
and within this period I didn’t get bikes easily again. This went on for a while before I realised myself and went back to believing in myself which brought back the bikes.
Every challenge is different, every challenge is unique to the person involved. Your case is different and maybe requires a different approach.
speak positive words and watch how you transform events.
Leadership is about what we can bring to the table of societal development,
its about leading a path, clearing a new path for society,
its about showing a new way of doing things,
its about Blossoming the best within for the good of humanity.
Everyone of us is an inventor, we are endowed at birth with certain unalienable right among which is the right to be creative (in the footstep of our creator….cos we carry that capability though in a smaller scale).
Some of us are meant to invent new things, some are to invent new ways of doing old things. Some of us reinvent existing things to make life better but the greatest invention in life is to lead the world with our true nature.
?How do I mean.
We each have something that makes us who we are , its something we stand for, something we will like to do if we were not working to earn money. For some, its singing ,for others its making people laugh, still for some its about guiding others with good advice, for some, its caring for other and many more stand. The central thing is that we each stand for something, it could even be changing a social or moral problem.
When we work in the vineyard of that virtue/quality we stand for, we create a new way of doing things, gradually we become pioneers and we begin to show others the path to this new stuff we have created.
Lets use an illustration, during the early 1900s many people were experimenting with flying machines. Many professors of physics and all the academic discipline were busy saying that it was impossible to put a machine made of metal l in the air because metal was heavier than air hence it will crash to the ground. Two bicycle repairs did not want this academic pessimism to stop them, they continued with their experiment and in a few years launched the first plane into the air, today the world cannot do without planes.
Now the important thing is that after the wright brothers created the first planes they became pilot instructors overnight coz they had to teach others how to fly this thing they created. That’s my point, they lighted a path for humanity then they went further to lead others into the way.
So also it is with leadership…..its about our inner core.
When you achieve excellence in a thing, naturally you become a leader by efficiency.
Take a look around you, everything you see was done by somebody and these people started teaching others the way.
” You are the light of the world…..the salt of the earth….at city on a hill that cannot be hidden”
From experience, we know that light becomes necessary when there is darkness somewhere and its that light that will dispel the darkness. Whatever the mind can conceive with faith, you it can achieve with hard work diligently done in a smart way.
The mind of man has never dreamt impossibility hence it can achieve all it sets out to achieve.
Note; by the use of the word “inventor” I do not mean scientific stuffs, invention is another word for creativity. A painter can invent a better way of painting even when he has limited or inadequate materials. A laundry man can invent a better way of washing more cloth with less soap or water. Every person can design a better way of doing what he is good at,all it takes is proper understudy of the thing at hand and a desire to improve on it…..the miracles will flow.
