Be Kind With Your Words

--by hasifa, posted Feb 27, 2012

This morning I woke up to a text message that said, “I want you to know that you are a talented, smart and incredible woman whose beauty radiates flawlessly from the inside out.”

When I read it I smiled so brightly that I did not need to open the blinds and look out to know it was going to be a beautiful day.

As I chose my work clothes for the day I took extra care. I tried on a few items until I found the ones that made me look as good as I felt.

As I sat in the morning traffic I thought to myself, “Does he know how wonderful he made me feel with his simple and kind words?”

This made me think of the power of words. Can you imagine how something so simple can make such a big impact?

So I challenge you and myself to be kind with our words. See how many people’s days you can change with your kind words. If you are married, when was the last time you told your spouse that she is beautiful? What about your husband, does he know how grateful you are for him? What about your mother? When was the last time you called just to say you loved her.

Don’t underestimate the power of good words. Instead, use them as gifts to those around you.

As i read through, i quickly imagined my self in your position, going through different items of clothing-to find what made me look as good as i felt from what a loved one told me about my self. Words really do have a big impact, and i just love your post. Its so much better to see the good in others. Ps. You mean alot more to us than you can ever imagine.

Love and hugs to you. :)
