There is nothing more powerful than the spoken word.
Words can pierce,
They can persuade
They can manipulate
They can destroy relationships or be the glue that strengthens social bonds
With the word harboring so much power, what then happens then when what you say is not aligned with what you do.
When you live a life of repression and falsehood
When you abandon the pursuit to articulate truth, not just in word and in deed.
What happens then?
You word is not just about expressing how you feel, or sharing an opinion
It’s about expressing who you are and what you stand for.
Speaking truth is a pursuit in itself.
Finding the right words, the right tone, the right timing consistently and concisely is a skill within itself that requires practice
You are an agent of change
And every word you utter sends ripples into time and space
Speaking truth is not devoid of consequence, it doesn’t make life easy, but it will certainly keep it real.
Such is the power of the spoken word.
