What’s in a word? Mark Twain once said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment.” Words have power.
The sentences you use are filled with stones or seeds. You are either using them to kill your confidence or to grow your mind.

Too many times we are destroying the exact thing we are trying to build.
- Dreams
- Aspirations
- Better health
- Thriving marriage
- Strong family
- Incredible career
But instead of building up that which the world tears down, you add to the chaos. Confusion with contractions holds you back from precisely pursuing your purpose.
English 101 – Do not use contractions in your writing. If you aren’t suppose to use contractions in writing, why do we use it in speaking?
Contractions take away; nothing is added except empty space with a dangling comma in the air.
But that’s what’s happening. This space allows for a multitude of second guessing. A time to hone in on the negative and not the positive. It gives power to what you see as improbable, not possible.
If you took heed to what Mark Twain said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment,” imagine what would happen if you chose kindness daily in your word usage.
“Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you.” ~ Proverbs 11:17 (NLT)
The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose words of kindness to grow your dream!
Your internal dialogue will either benefit your life or take away a little bit at a time. And this little bit adds up.
- Start with awareness of the contractions — all the stones, the nots! Think about David and Goliath. He had a slingshot and some stones. Every time you use negative words, nots, or contractions, you risk be knocked out and killing that which you so desire.
- Choose 3 words that resonate with your heart and your dream. Connect them to ignite the passion.
- Write 3 sentences/questions to trigger the possible! These are your hope statements.
If you are searching for ONE word, that’s another episode. This K.I.S.S. is all about sustenance. Feeding your mind, body, and spirit to thrive through the ups and downs of your season.
Words are either stones or seeds.
What are the words you will use to expand your heart and flourish this new year?
“Your kindness will reward you. Words have power. What words will you use today?”
