Most of us have heard the expression "The eyes are a window into the soul" and there is a lot of truth in this statement although an observer can never truly know what a person is thinking, going though or what action they plan on taking by just looking into their eyes. I think a better method of understanding a person's soul is to listen to the words that they speak. Now this cannot be a one time event as someone may be going though something that is not typical in their life and because of their immediate situation they may say something that does not truly reflect their soul or character. What is needed is to a get a few sample points with a person to truly understand them.

However, the point stands. Our spoken words are a true reflection of our character, our true selves our inner soul. What we express verbally is coming directly from our thoughts. If we are always negative, our words will reflect this negativity. If our thoughts are generally positive, our words will reflect this state of mind. What we need to understand is that the spoken word has tremendous power in our world. This power can be positive or negative. We can have a tremendous impact on the people we interact with due to the words we speak so we need to ensure that our thoughts are in the proper place.

Thoughts are expressed as words and words have tremendous power, both positive and negative. In order for our words to reflect a positive attitude, our thoughts must be positive.

The words we speak are a reflection of our thoughts and our thoughts are a true reflection of our soul.

So what can we do if the words we are speaking are not predominately positive and we truly want to improve this?

I am not a psychotherapist so I cannot counsel people that have deep emotional or psychiatric problems however, I do know that many of the negative attitudes in the workplace today are coming from people who are frustrated in their current roles. One of the major reasons for frustration in the workplace comes from the fact that these people are not working in a role that takes advantage of their strengths. In fact, many people are working in areas where they have weaknesses and these weaknesses are causing poor performance and stress. This leads to frustration, negative thoughts and consequently negative words.

What is needed is for people to truly understand their Strength Zone and then strive to apply this Strength Zone in every role that they have. In doing this people will begin to experience success, this results in positive thoughts and positive thoughts result in positive words.

You can change the state of your soul! Remember, the words we speak are a true reflection of our soul….does your soul need a tune-up?
