Be mindful of your words from "summary" of How to Love by Katie Cotugno
The words we choose to speak have power. They have the power to uplift, to encourage, to inspire. But they also have the power to hurt, to wound, to scar. We must be mindful of the words we use, for once they leave our lips, we can never take them back. They have a lasting impact, shaping the way others see us and affecting our relationships with them. When we speak without thinking, we risk causing harm. We may say something hurtful in a moment of anger or frustration, only to regret it later. Words spoken in haste can damage trust and create rifts that are difficult to mend. We must pause before we speak, considering the impact our words will have on those around us. Will they build up or tear down? Will they heal or harm? Being mindful of our words means being intentional in our speech. It means speaking with kindness and empathy, choosing our words carefully to ensure that they reflect our true intentions. We must be aware of the power our words hold and use them wisely, using them to uplift and support rather than to tear down and destroy. In our relationships, the words we speak can make all the difference. They can strengthen bonds and deepen connections, or they can drive a wedge between us and the ones we love. We must choose our words thoughtfully, considering how they will be received and how they will impact the other person. Communication is key in any relationship, and being mindful of our words is essential in fostering healthy, loving connections. So let us take care with the words we speak, for they have the power to shape our lives and the lives of those around us. Let us choose our words with love and compassion, using them to build up and support, rather than tear down and destroy. Let us be mindful of our words, for they have the power to change the world.
