I believe one of our greatest tools can also be our greatest weapon, depending on how we use it.
Some people use this force of nature for malice. Or manipulation. Or passion. Or love. For anything.
Some people choose not to use this force of nature at all, and that in itself also sends quite a powerful message.
This force of nature I refer to is something each and every one of us has used throughout our lives for both good and bad, whether we realize it or not. Even an innocent child learns the magnitude of this force very early in life -- and isn't afraid to use it.
Sometimes this force just slips out... clumsily or innocently. Sometimes it's intrusive or harsh. Sometimes it flows like a peaceful brook. And sometimes, it can be the deciding factor between love and hate.
This force is the window to our every thought and desire; it's the interpreter of our mind.
This force of nature is the backbone of Steemit. It's a tool for people like me who choose to interpret and share what is going on inside their heads.
Do you know what it is yet?
It's words!
Smiling doesn't hurt either.

Choose your words wisely and you will change your reality. I can promise you that. If you allow your words to accurately represent who you are, you are sure to get exactly what you've always wanted. It's not always sunshine and rainbows, but sometimes wisely chosen words allow you to filter out the junk in your life (junk people included), which ends up being a good thing.
Sometimes, I find myself thinking self-destructive thoughts...a lot of times actually. I've learned to train my thoughts (which are really just words in my head) to transform them into something more realistic or kind, and the change flows over into my spoken and written words. Hardly anything is ever as bad as I imagine it to be -- especially made-up stories in my head.
Before I knew it, I naturally started thinking, speaking , and writing with more clarity. I started making more sense to myself and others, too. Go figure.
