Magic Words

Words are powerful. Years later, you can recall something someone said (to or about you) because of the way it elevated or devastated you. We don’t often think before we speak (and sometimes even less before we type, text or post). But our words have the potential to bless and curse, heal and hurt, bring life or even death. Words, to a large degree, determine destiny. And according to research, some have an even bigger impact than others. What if when your kindergarten teacher told you to, “Say the magic words!”, she was onto something significant? And if so, what words, if understood fully and incorporated regularly, might have the ability to reform our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the world at large?
