Lovely pals!
This is one incident that was shared with me by two of my trainees in a training session. It is strange that both of them were from different locations but the incident was exactly same. And this is a perfect example of WHAT words can do. Now lets see what happened.
There was an apricot tree in front of a house that was not fruiting for a long time. Hence, one day the lady of the house told her son and daughter to do say a few words in front of the tree. She asked her son to just do the action of cutting the tree by raising the axe and say a few times "I shall cut this tree" and the daughter had to say "No brother, please don't cut it, it will bear fruits soon".
To their surprise, the tree bore fruits the very next day.
Now, what will you call that?? and as it has already been told above that this happened at two different places. In villages, this is common practice when any tree doesn't bear fruit for long. Probably, they have realized the power of words.
Imagine, if the negative words can insult a TREE (quite strange but true) and then a faith of someone can help it bear fruits, what all these words can do to us! This is the power of words. The same way words affect us too. When somebody says some positive words to us, we get the power on the other hand, if we hear something negative about ourselves, yes! we do get disheartened; however we should always have the hope that someone must be having faith in us.
Let us learn from this beautiful story that harsh words shall not come out of our mouths. Especially for our kids, we must always encourage them with positive and powerful words. We must empower them by feeding them with positive thoughts and words.
The increasing rates in suicide cases of the children after their exam results is because they are being fed with the negative words. Why can't we tell them that they are special and whatever be the result, they shall always remain our loving kids. No matter what happens, we can't afford to lose them. CAN WE??
Let them be what they want to be. Just empower them to be. Let them grow.
Speak positive always. Remove the words Can't, won't, don't and problems from your life's dictionary. Tell them they can do it. Change the word problem to CHALLENGE. Let them face it and overmaster it.
Tell them they are the best.
Happy speaking!
Love Sonam
