The Power Your Thoughts And Words Have

By Hobvias Sudoneighm and Pedro Ribeiro Simoes

Do you have any idea how powerful your thoughts and words are?

If you're able to think about it, it has the possibility to be a reality.

Would you believe that the businesses, new inventions, amazing man-made wonders and so on are once upon a time just thoughts by people?

That's right, all of the man-made things we see today are something that people just imagined in their thoughts

How come we see them today? It's because someone acted upon these thoughts and turned them into reality.

As Henry Ford put it, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right." So if you think that you'd be successful, you're right. But if you think you won't be successful, then you're also right. So might as well think that you'd succeed, because either way, you'll be right with what you think.

Our words, on the other hand, have more power than our thoughts.

Why? It's because words are thoughts that are expressed.

What we think about becomes more powerful when we put them into words. Because we don't only think about them, but we also hear them or see them (if you write it down). So every time we say we can, than we can. But every time we say we can't, than we can't. Either way we are also right.

The power of our words goes beyond ourselves. Our words also has the power to influence other people, especially those who are emotionally attached to us. Like our families and friends.

I remember a scene in a Filipino movie, In My Life, starring Vilma Santos. In that scene Vilma, was in the dining area with her two daughter and her husband. The mood was sad and full of grief as they just buried the only son of the family who died in an accident. To lighten the mood, Dimples Romano (playing the role of one of Vilma's daughters) started reminiscing their childhood. When everybody got into the discussion, Dimples then remembered how her mother (Vilma) always tells her that she doesn't need to study medicine, because she'll get pregnant and marry early anyway. She acknowledged that her mom was right, as that's what happened to her.

So the next time you have something to say, think carefully about it first. You might be saying something negative that would influence the person into acting that negative word.
