«The Power of Words» by Precious Magdaleno

O’ dear, I know I’m just another stranger trying to reach you through my words, in whatever ways the universe flows within my veins of hope and love—this one is for you: 

Don’t sit in the golden sun and shower cold stones from the grey clouds. 

Words are powerful! I repeat—words are powerful! We live and breathe words. Yes, we do; and these words have the power to hurt, help, or heal. Words express emotions or knowledge that impact you and others, whether you write or speak them. They also can completely change someone’s mood and ignite even a little spark in them. 

So please be careful playing with fire. Words reflect the character inside. 

If you don’t know the story, never pour scorn on someone based only on your assumptions. Life is beautiful when you look for beauty and not problems. Be compassionate. Be kinder not just to yourself but also to others. Share a genuine smile and spread love—not a synthetic red rose filled with hate. Let your words be like diamonds that sparkle joy in the hearts of others.

Oh, the sweet sound of love and kindness! It’s the best thing!
