Then, whatever the response or outcome, I can let it go I, knowing I have given my best. 2 Reply Anonymous8 months agoAnonymousI was trained as a nurse to try to explain care and experiences using positive words, even when circumstances were dire. To encourage in the face of sorrow, fear or tragedy. I notice this tendency remains with me as I carry on conversations now in my retiring years. I also learned somewhere along the way to consider using "and" instead of "but" when speaking, regarding two possibly opposing situations. I think of this as letting both circumstances stand without diminishing the first.

This can equal to power behind words used with intention. Whatever you say intentionally will come across powerfully to those that are aware and sensitive to the nature of what you are saying. 2 Reply Heather8 months agoHeatherThe people I deal with are often a minefield of emotional time bombs. I defuse my reactions when I focus on what will be the most helpful. I feel like I’m wrapped in a weighed blanket. 3 Reply Ed Schulte8 months agoEd SchulteWise approach. 'Words', all words are elementals carrying the Desire - though or Thought - desire of their creator. I use a bright white egg shell shaped, full body protection, cloud myself. It allows the positive thoughts to pass through but stops and de-energizes the non-positive.

With intention, I’m also able to extend positivity to myself and others, and gentleness is felt. 4 Reply dcdeb8 months agodcdebThe words have more power; they come true. 3 Reply Linda8 months agoLinda“Think before you speak.” Wise words from my father. Did I listen?? Not always but I am better at it now. 🙂 4 Reply Blossom8 months agoBlossomUnderstanding 6 Reply Katrina8 months agoKatrinaWords are very important to me. It takes me a long time to process answers to questions, to write posts on Facebook, sometimes even to make a list (especially if it’s too be shared with others). Misunderstanding happens so easily. I’ve been told, “Just say it…!” My husband finishes my sentences or supplies words for me while I’m thinking of the word(s) of my choosing. I know it is frustrating for others. But words matter. 5 Reply Mary Pat8 months agoMary PatI am constantly amazed at how I agree with everyone’s answers, and often find them better than what I have to say. I would only add to everyone’s comments that when I speak with intention, I slow down and am more aware myself of what I am saying. My wish is that when I do speak, just like others have said, I do no harm to anyone. I try, but that doesn’t always happen. It is something I would like to get better at doing. 5 Reply sizaah8 months agosizaahWorking on being a better listener has helped me in turn use my words with more intention. Intention fosters a more meaningful dialogue with others. 6 Reply Mica8 months agoMicaThank you, sizaah – ‘working on being a better listener’ is something I need to do 🙂 2 Reply Nelson8 months agoNelsonI have a higher chance of it manifesting. 5 Reply Samuel8 months agoSamuelMuch depends upon what my words, and intentions, truly are. Words can heal, encourage, guide, inform, teach, question, connect, and lead to so many other positive things. But - words can also hurt, discourage, mislead, misinform, ridicule, spread divisiveness, hate, anger, and result in much waste and destruction of people and things. The very same words that are helpful when used with good intent can be very hurtful when used with ill intent.

They are sent into the world where their purpose will have echoes… 6 Reply sunnypatti8 months agosunnypattiSpeaking with intention holds more energy than mindless chatter. When we use words with intention, they matter more. They resonate better. And those words always come from the correct place inside – the place of love that only wants the best for all of us. 7 Reply Howie Geib8 months agoHowie Geib“In the beginning was the Word…”-John 1:1-14 The role of our word is essential if we are to move through life with any intention at all. And the power of words are unleashed upon their utterance to effect which cannot be recalled. Crafting and creating the life we want, change manifested in all domains and great destructiveness are all potential through words. So to gain the discipline so that we speak with intention, and own our words on purpose, belies wisdom.

Crafting and creating the life we want, change manifested in all domains and great destructiveness are all potential through words. So to gain the discipline so that we speak with intention, and own our words on purpose, belies wisdom. Once realized it often breeds reluctance to speak at all. Indeed, it is what lies behind the practice of silence in most spiritual communities for greater parts of the day. The very lucky gain an expertise bringing art in verse. Read More7 Reply Katrina8 months agoKatrinaI found myself at the “reluctance to speak at all” spot yesterday. Something happened in our family when something needed to be said, but choosing the right words seemed nearly impossible. But staying silent would have been for me to stay quiet about important feelings I was experiencing. Choosing the right words is a challenge, because once spoken I cannot determine how they are heard or interpreted. 4 Reply Mica8 months agoMicaAnd we can’t take the words back.
