The little things that matter series-Ep3: Words

How often do you talk to people and what kind of impact do your words leave on them?

This is one thing that people hardly ever seem to take note of, simply because the society doesn't have time anymore caring about what's being said, everyone is only caring about what's trending not caring about how the other party feels about it.
A persons word can either impact negatively or positively, this is were a blunt person tends to have issues because he\she says it the way they feel it; to them it may not be a problem cause they've let it out and that's fine but those words you've said has it actually done its job of correction or it has just made the person feel bad about him\her self.



 Words influence others and build relationships at work and personally. They can tear down relationships. Simply put, language holds massive, colossal power to manifest change, whether it’s good or bad. 
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, considered to be one of the most Stoic philosophers who ever lived, said: “Perform every act in life as though it were your last.”
We can take this a step further and say: “Speak every word you say in life as though it were your last.” ( this are words taken from google)


Words go a long way in the mind of an individual, it is one of the things causing depression in our society today, it's not just about social media. Today people are afraid to engage in a conversation because they don't want to be silenced or laughed at, unfortunately that's the world we find ourselves today. You never know who is waiting to hear a little word of encouragement, a word to make a person smile or even laugh, a compliment to make a person think good about himself.

TIP:  SAY A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO SOMEONE

The little things that matter series-Ep.2-TRUST

Everyone has that moment where he or she has felt so alone and out of place, majorly because you tend to place too much value on what didn't need that much attention. Myself as an example, i meet new people and interact (which is something i hardly ever do) then boom in my mind I've got new friends that would be my ride or die and i begin playing the friend role; at this point in my mind, i have believed that if i can make myself uncomfortable for you then you can do the same for me but is that really how it works?, how easily do you trust people and what result do you get out of it. According to the Cambridge dictionary, TRUST is defined as to  believe  that someone is good and  honest  and will not  harm  you, or that something is  safe  and  reliable : Quick question,how many of them  you call 'FRIENDS' can you proudly say in your time of need they wouldn't loose guard you? this is one question i have learnt to ask myself e...
