I haven’t updated this blog in months as work has taken up yet a lot of my time.
However, this update is critical as it comes at a crucial point.
I haven’t been well in the last week or so and as work becomes demanding, even falling sick doesn’t help.
I fought a great deal mentally and physically to get myself in my best shape possible, dealing with a bad flu, cough and sorethroat.
All these can’t come at a worst time where I was scheduled to be a speaker for an event.
However, there’s a silver lining.
Despite all these, I had a team of people who said that they believe in me.
They trusted that I will be able to do the necessary.
And I trusted God to do the rest.
Such words, the power of belief and positivity is so rare nowadays.
With the team counting on me to perform, that helped shape my mentality towards how I spoke to the audience.
Despite sounding muffled with a flu, I had an incredible breakthrough in terms of sales.
People coming up to thank me for a great presentation.
One person even mentioned that they have heard so many speakers but today they felt that this presentation made the most sense to them.
It was all worth it at the very end.
Words can build or break a person. Even in the toughest of times, it will brighten a person’s heart and mind.
Be very careful with words. It’s a double-edged sword.
Speak kindness, speak positivity, speak encouragement, speak goodness.
The intention will return many times over and the outcome will be a positive outcome.
The outcome will become meaning, purpose and strength to move forward for another day.
I choose to be mindful of my words.
There’s no benefit to tearing a person down.
