Encourage

By Mike Hall, November 7, 2015

“We learned as children that ‘sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.”

But that’s not true.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can break my heart.”

Words have a tremendous power for good or for ill. We have a choice in the words we use.”

We can:

Choose to heal or choose to wound.

Choose to affirm or choose to reject.

Choose to inspire or choose to expire.

Choose to praise or choose to criticize.

Choose to appreciate or choose to depreciate.

Choose to encourage or choose to discourage.

Choose to focus on strengths or choose to dwell on weaknesses.”
