Your words, to a very great extent, determine your identity in the world, and most certainly, your reputation. It’s not what other people say about you that matters most. It’s what YOU say! When you are saying the right words about yourself, the wrong words that someone says to you won’t matter as much.
In my travels as a motivational speaker and leadership strategist, I have shared the platform many times with Les Brown. I love his book, Live Your Dreams, which includes his words that have become his sentences, which have become his message. His message has created his experiences, which he has turned into his life lessons that he now shares with the world! My favorite quote of his says.
“Never let someone’s opinion become your reality Never sacrifice who you are because someone else has a problem with it. Love who you are inside and out.”
One of my favorite books in the world is the Book of Proverbs. You find an amazing thing in the book of Proverbs … of the 915 verses/sentences of Proverbs 22, 222 (about one quarter) speak about this instrument called the tongue and the power of the we speak in our lives.
“The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. – Proverbs 18:21 (NLT)
