The Power Of Words

February 26, 2012 By Janine 21 Comments

Those of us who blog, or like to read blogs are very aware of the power of words. However, this video says it in the most eloquent way possible.

I first saw this video at a work conference last year, thanks to Kirri White at Success Coach for reminding me of it this morning.

      That’s fine I think the credit for the people who did it comes up at the end of the video.

    Reblogged this on Faces in the clouds and commented:
    So True …So True. Think about how you say things and how some words can move mountains.

    A wise person once said that our words define who we are and whatever comes out of our mouth shows what is in our hearts.

    Thanks for sharing this beautiful video!

    It was you who wrote the blog post about always tearing up at things, yes? (If not, I’m sorry and I’ve officially confused all of my blogs.) I’m sitting over here completely teared up and can’t decide if I should watch it again – a) it was really good, b) I might be completely crying by the end. Thanks for sharing, this video was amazing.
