There is great power in knowledge. The thing is where that knowledge comes from doesn’t matter. Be it experiences, unwarranted circumstances, or the experiences of someone else, knowing is half the battle of success.

Let’s engage in a series of Joy Factor’s that can help induce joy in your life.

• Words are Powerful, Use them Wisely

It’s easy to think of the words we speak to other people, when we see this. The truth is …. “the words that come out your mouth you’re the first to hear. “Speak words of beauty,……” (India Arie- Get it Together) Words are the most powerful force in humanity. They can be used for encouragement or to be destructive, having the energy and power to uplift or destroy.

Like in everything choosing to speak light in your life and the life of others is just that A CHOICE! Personally, I have been spoken ill to/of too many times to remember, funny thing is I can’t ever remember what was said. There is a certain confidence that builds a mental brick wall against anything that is not applicable to you or your life. Those negative words, I CHOSE to not make them apart of me.

Instead, I strove for the opposite, and flipped the negatives to positive. It was will power and mind over matter. For some that may look and sound like daily affirmations, for some it may be silence to refrain from speaking negativity, some may not have the positive vocabulary necessary. What ever it is, you have the power to improve.

What will you commit to start improving?
