The Power of words

Amalie Allison, 9th - Wichita KS
Words. 
Possibly the most influential thing in our lives. 
They have the power to motivate fear. 
They can tear others apart.  
They can make you feel insignificant, small, worthless. 
They can make you overthink simple things in your everyday life. 
Words can tear you down, until you’re nothing but an empty shell of your former self.

Words are power. 
But words don’t have to be used to for bad. 
Words can be used to motivate, to encourage others. 

Words can give life. 
They can show a person how much they mean to you. 
They can spread kindness, replenish energy.

Words are life changing. 
And depending on how you use them can determine an individual’s feeling of worth, their confidence in themselves. 

Words impact others more than you’re aware of.  
So when you have the chance to use your power, use it for good.
Use it for the sake of others, not for revenge or duplicity.  
We all have power, and how we choose to use it sets the pace for your entire life,
as well as the lives of others. 

Words are power. 
And I pray that you use them for good.
