We may feel and even express remorse.\u00a0 But the words were said, and there is no taking them back.<\/p>\n<p>We can also use our words to build up, edify, and honor the ones we love.\u00a0 Affirming who they are for us, declaring the belief we have in them, expressing the gratitude we feel at having the opportunity to love and be loved by them. We can use our words to create what we want to see in the relationship, how we want the experience to be.\u00a0 We can create \u201cspouse-fulfilling prophesies\u201d that communicate: \u201cI choose you.\u00a0 I trust you.\u00a0 I believe in you.\u00a0 I am standing by you,\u201d even when things are not 100% where you would like them to be.\u00a0 Words of encouragement go a much longer way toward inspiring change in ourselves and those we love than do words of criticism and complaint.<\/p>\n<p>I know things are not always \u201crosy.\u201d Each relationship has its own ups and downs, victories and challenges.\u00a0 I also know that words are <em><strong>powerful<\/strong><\/em>, they can create or destroy, build up or tear down, bring hope or cynicism. And, because I believe in my own power to create the life, relationship, and world I want to experience, I will continue choosing to write, speak, share, and listen to words that manifest love, hope, peace, and empowerment!<\/p>\n<p>How do you use your words to create your reality?<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/picturepurrfect685\/5442962418\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennuine Captures<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/deed.en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photopin<\/a>.com <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/deed.en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gladys Diaz Language does have the power to change reality.
