What we say has a huge impact on those around us.  We can easily use words to tear people down or to build them up.  We can do these things in the people’s presence or in their absence.

The hardest time to speak kind words is when we have a lot on our mind, when we are stressed, or when we have trouble sorting through our thoughts and feelings.

Hilary, on her myspace blog, realizes this:

Hiding my true feelings, like resentment or unforgiveness, keeps me in bondage to them. … If I carry around this kind of “emotional baggage” it will poison my day. Sometimes I have to confront things to make them better and trust me I hate doing this. But when I do confront these things I should use wisdom. While it is good to talk about things I don’t want to dump all my thoughts and emotions on every person who comes along. I need to use the powerful tool of speech to offer words of kindness and blessing to my parents, to my friends, to coworkers, and even to strangers I meet throughout the day.
“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.” - Rudyard Kipling

It’s very true that we can do a lot with speech– good and bad.  If we use our speech, flavored with kindness (not flattery!), we would see some great things happen!
