The Power of Words
Words have power. Indeed some might say that words ARE power. They communicate ideas and feelings and they form the structure of almost every thought we think in the silence of our own minds. Can you think of many times when you have thought without words?
I thought not.
Words have the power to shape how we see ourselves and others. How many times has someone’s rash or hurtful words brought you down, especially when you care about what the speaker thinks of you.
Bear in mind, however, that nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent at some level. It isn’t just that their words have upset you or damaged your confidence, it’s also the things that you think to yourself after their words have been spoken that causes problems for you. If you genuinely thought that they were wrong and their comments were unfounded or that they were not in a position to judge accurately, then why care about the negative things they have said to you? It’s just noise in the air.
Of course, if you write off every criticism the chances are that you are deluding yourself and falling into the trap of arrogance. The point is to filter genuine and constructive criticism out from the disheartening dross that we are so often subjected to in our daily lives.
If we aim to be self aware and self reflexive we will be able to find something positive within a genuine criticism without falling foul to damage to our confidence, and we will also be able to see the difference between criticisms and ‘nasty remarks’. From this point we can learn to better dismiss the latter while accept and help improve ourselves from the former.
