Story: If you own a machine and can print money, wouldn’t you go ahead and help people?

Continued from Thursday’s blog

Yoni decides:

Fight fire with fire!

“I decide to go to war.
If I was destroyed, hurt and battered by words
I will fight back with words.

Then and there.

I picked myself up, shook myself off and decided to help anyone I see is in a little bit of trouble.

I will build them up,
I will encourage them.
I will pick them up.

I will show them they are worth much more than they think they are.

As much as words can destroy,
they can also create
and I will be the one to do it.”

Many people listen to lectures on
Loshon Hara (evil speech),
embarrassing others or
criticizing others.

Yet they still do not realize that
speaking down to someone
or
making someone feel worthless
or
replaceable

can stop a person in his tracks.

Because of these hurtful words,
this person may not even be able
to build himself back up.

However, once you recognize the
tremendous power of your words,
you can now use this power
to build others up!

You can:

Give someone a compliment.
Give someone praise.
Be supportive.

You will do them tremendous good!

If you owned a machine that could print money and
you could print as much as you want and
this is all legal,

Wouldn’t you go ahead and help people?

You would be very happy to go to
your relatives,
your friends,
and those people who could use money.

Yoni discovers he already owns this machine.

Yoni explains:

“I lived through tremendous turmoil.

I had a very difficult childhood.

I lived through so many words that put me down.

Now I use my machine (words)
to build people up.”

Money comes and goes.

But building someone else up with words lasts forever.

Question: Do you use words constructively in your relationship with others?
