What do words have to do with Great Living? Good question!
How about,,,, everything! Do you ever hear folks talk about "positive thinking"? Well, how does positive thinking come about? If you used words like - hate, stink, terrible, hopeless, failure, stupid, undoable etc. - this would tend to be negative thinking wouldn't it? On the other hand words like - hope, love, possibility, opening, good effort, inspiration etc. - would give you a positive outlook.
Isn't that interesting? So one could say that given a set of circumstances choosing the words we use to describe it could shape our opinion, our mood and our how we deal with it. Amazing?
Does anyone have examples to share that illustrate this point?
