The Right Words

avatar

Kemi has so much passion for music and she plans to take it up as a career. She sent her application for a music competition and she was lucky to have been chosen for the audition. This is the first time she is performing in front of an audience and a panel of judges. She was afraid and it affected her confidence.

One of the judges comment at the end of her performance was an heartbreaking one rather than an encouraging one which she expected. The judge affirmed that she can never make it in music with this type of performance. She was further asked if she was forced to come for the audition or she decided to come herself. These remarks broke her and she left the stage weeping.

After the audition came to an end, one of the judges spotted her and told her encouraging words - "you are a superstar", "I see the potential in you, you need more practice and you need to work on your stage fright, you will surely become a big name in the music industry..."

Those words were all Kemi needed. It changed her mindset about her music and boosted her confidence. Today, she is doing well in music career.

Words are very powerful. They have the ability to make or mar. Words can make someone who is struggling in his or her career become the best and on the other hand, it can also make the best person in a particular field return to square one.

The right words can transform the life of a person from average to excellence. Words have a driving force that makes one not have an option than to move swiftly to pursing success or the desired set goals.

In life, the words that is said to some people can define if they will be a success or failure. This is the reason motivational speakers, mentors and good teachers frequently use positive words and affirmative statements to boost the confidence of their clients or audience.

Some motivational experts have advised individuals to always speak positively into their own lives. There is a practice of standing in front of your mirror and saying to yourself some of these words.

• I am a great woman
• I am a success
• Doors of opportunities will open for me today
• I shall not lack anything good in my life
• I am a superstar

In the short excerpt that I shared above the difference between the two judges is their choice of words. One was negative and the other was positive. The negative words changed the way the young girl sees herself and she felt like a failure but moments later she became more confident in her after the words of encouragement from the second judge.

To be a successful person in life and to help people become successful too, it is important to choose our words and embrace positivity.
