Whatever is deep and buried in our hearts will eventually flow out of our mouths and into the atmosphere.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve all probably heard the saying \u201cHurt people hurt people,\u201d but have we ever stopped to think that maybe it is our words that hurt, and not necessarily people? Maybe you told someone a secret and they told all your friends, and now it\u2019s hard for you to trust people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But repeating the phrase, \u201cI have trust issues\u201d is not going to create the positive atmosphere you want. Instead of reminding yourself of that negative event, decide to cleanse your heart by letting it go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our hearts are like roots of a tree. If the root of a tree is good, you can expect there will be good fruit. The same with our words and the atmosphere. If our words are good, we can expect a good atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dictionary defines atmosphere as \u201cthe pervading tone or mood of a place, situation, or work of art.\u201d Creating an atmosphere is the gradual process of adding layers to our surroundings, but in this case, with our words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day on the bus ride home, I sat next to a woman who used words like \u201ctired,\u201d \u201chungry&#8221; and \u201cirritated.\u201d As the woman spoke, she added layers of detail explaining why she was tired and what made her irritated. I couldn\u2019t help but feel the cloud of her negativity envelope the place were sitting in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The kind of words we use can be the difference between a fulfilling atmosphere or stressful one. One day, overwhelmed by work and responsibilities, I started to speak discouraging words to myself. \u201cI am never going to get this done.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catching myself heading toward a downward spiral, I started speaking encouraging words, which empowered me to take on the assignments. &#8220;This is a lot of work, but it\u2019s fun work,\u201d I told myself. This helped me build the atmosphere I needed to get my work done. Had it not been for this shift in attitude and words, I wouldn&#8217;t have completed my work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Words are the fuel that propel us into the direction of our dreams. You can have dreams and visions about becoming great, but if your words are not aligned with who you want to be, there will be no motivating power to get you there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember wanting to become a writer, but it wasn\u2019t until I started calling myself a writer that I become one. The same is possible for everyone who is willing to use words to create an atmosphere of love.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The words we speak come from the hidden desires in our hearts.
