What's Your Life Sentence?

Words, one of the most powerful resources known to mankind.  Think of what has been accomplished because of words. What a single word has started, has created, has stopped, or completed.  Words that start a revolution, "I have a dream". Words that start wars, "give me liberty or give me death". Words that change your life forever, "I do". Words of defeat, "I give up". Words of excitement, "it's a boy". Words or degradation, "your stupid". Words of transformation, "Father, forgive them".  It is absolutely amazing how something so small, something as simple as a single word such as - yes or no - can change your attitude, your thoughts, your words, your dreams, your life, and your destiny forever.

I believe that words create worlds.  Our words actually impregnate the atmosphere, creating new realities and realms that our lives eventually occupy through the agreement of what was spoken.  I am sure that everyone reading this is thinking, "yah, I know the tongue is powerful - yah, I know what I say is important" but what amazes me is how often we abuse this truth.  The question you must ask yourself is what is coming out of your mouth.  What are you saying about your day, about your life, about your wife and kids?  What are you saying about those you work with or work for?  What are you saying about your future? Or what has been said about you that you are agreeing with?  What world are you creating for yourself and for others?

Words, spoken or written, in a single sentence can actually create a life sentence.
