The bottom line
Lack of communication
Men use words to create status and influence.
Women use words to create connection.
Men want you to hear them and connect with who they want you to believe they are.
Women want you to hear them and connect with their emotions.
Successful leaders, husbands, fathers etc… live or die by their ability to “frame” ideas, visions, problems, solutions with their words.
Think of Martin Luther “I have a dream”.
James 3:1-12
The tongue - words are a fire, a rudder, a spring of life or death. You steer your whole life by the words you use.
Maybe you are in sales and you have learned over time what to say and what not to say. the power of words…
I have a friend who who at one time was the top care salesman in the state… his secret? His words were always focused on knowing his customer. He would say hi, can I help you? Just looking? ok… then he would find anything to talk to them… You know I just saw this exact care smashed last night on Hwy 21…
He would just simply use his words to get to know the person. Didn’t try to sell him anything, he would only answer the questions the customer would ask. Other than that he would just try to get to know him. He said he would end up talking to people about their kids in college and their health and boyfriends etc… they might leave and not buy a car… but most of the time they would come back. Because they felt like they knew and trusted the salesman.
Frame your life with your words…
What are you saying about your health, your habits, your marriage, your wife, your kids, your job, your future, your spiritual life, your spiritual power, your finances, your mood, your psyche,
You set the table of success or failure with your words.
I was working on an app I am launching in a few weeks and working with my buddy Anibal. We were working on a problem (way outside my comfort zone and expertise and simple knowledge base… yea, it didn’t look good) but then he said something that just totally reframed the problem and gave me a shot of energy.
He simply said “when we figure out how to do this we are going to be famous”. He said with clarity and he was totally serious. Guess what I did figure it out…. Wait till I launch it and you will see.
But the point is the bible has hundreds of verses on speech, our tongue and words…. they all one thing in common “Power”.
I speak to myself, I repeat verses to me, I play back prophecies spoken over me… Words frame my life- I know that so I use them to my advantage.
