On a personal level, too, your words affect you.  What you say to yourself about anyone or anything affects you, too.  If you speak well of someone or something, you bring more of that harmony into your life.  And if you speak ill of someone or something, you bring more of that frustration and anger and conflict into your life.

 Psychological literature often speaks of numerous cases where a parent’s words, spoken casually, can affect the destiny of a child.  And the most potent words that a parent can use to affect a child are those spoken at the time of dying…since these are the last words, and the moment is so highly-charged and the awareness so acute, these words become an imperative that the child now feels obligated to never disown.

 Words are further charged with the emotion behind them.  The stronger the emotion, the more highly charged the words.  Many a love affair has fallen by the wayside because of emotionally charged words, which are later regretted.

 Despite all this, people use words with the utmost casualness.  People wreck their own lives and that of others through the careless use of words.  They also accept the words of others as a given truth, when, in fact, all comments by others are merely opinion. 

 Words are causes set in motion, they are reality-creators. 

 The most marvelous aspect of words is how they can bend time.  The brilliantly crafted words of Shakespeare or the eloquence of Martin Luther King still shape our lives.  Words are so sacred that whole buildings are used to archive them and make them available for consumption.

 A person can rise from poverty to wealth, from sickness to health, and from loneliness to loving companionship simply through exposing themselves to the most beneficial stream of words. 

 Words not only steal hearts, but shape reality as well.  The earth can be a better place because of your choice of words.  You can fill lives with the miracles of your words.  You can be an agent for positive change and bring out the best in yourself and others simply by how you use words.  Words are psychic shape-shifters…use them wisely.

Assignment:  Observe how you and others use words today.  As your awareness expands, you will realize the value of words and how to use them to enhance your success.

Life is precious. Create a happy, fulfilling, and expressive life.  That's what I hope to help you achieve in these memos.

Until next time, my friend, I wish you all the best in the world.
