How do the sayings go?
“Actions speak louder than words.”
“A picture is worth 1000 words.”
These seem to imply that words aren’t as important, that they’re secondary, or that there are more potent things. But what if we thought again? Words are powerful. We tend to undermine the ineffable power of words. Words can hurt. Bad. But words can also encourage. Lift up. Make you rise. They can better your day. Make you smile. They can ignite change, stand for something. Even change the world.
So go ahead. Say something nice, speak up, speak out. You never know who it could affect.
PS : the picture I used for this post is from my grandparents house in the countryside of France :) It is so beautiful, peaceful, and rejuvenating. Brings back so many sweet memories.
