The power of the tongue
be careful what you say
and who you say it to
because the power of the tongue
is serious business.
Understand this,
when your thoughts are verbalized,
here's what happens.
Whether consciously or unconsciously,
your words are captured
in another person's mind,
and sometimes,
your thoughts become
their thoughts.
Now when those thoughts
are spoken elsewhere,
somewhere down the line,
they're transferred
to another person's mind,
Intermingled with other thoughts
that person heard
at some point in time,
so on and so forth.
In other words,
sometimes,
it all starts with you
So be careful
not to be talking loud and saying
nothing,
because somebody's listening
to what you say.
So think before you speak
and be careful what you say,
and who you say it to.
