The power behind the words we speak is without question. Your words have the ability to destroy and can also build; it can break and also heal. You will be surprised how a lot of people walk around with pain and wound in their heart - like the pain of rejection, pain of failure, of disappointment, or of betrayal. You may think that you do not have the material things to give to such person, but the truth is that you have a gift that you can give that money cannot buy; which is the power of words. Trust me, there are solutions to problems that a kind word can give. This is why I believe that you can restore broken heart with kind words.

Imagine someone coming to you when you are feeling down and then reassures you with these words; "I believe in you, and I know you can pull through." It can re-awaken the hidden strength within you. Or someone coming to you in a moment that you feel you are lonely and then telling you "you are not alone." These words may look very simple, but the power behind them cannot be quantified. Just to let you know, your words of kindness to someone on the verge of giving up can save them and make them know that there is a second chance for them. Your speech can act as a balm to mend the broken heart.
Have you ever sat for a moment to think about how someone's words uplifted your soul in the moments you were down? If your teacher or your mentor, for example, tells you how brilliant you are and speaks certain positive words to you, imagine how it will make you feel. This can go a long way to restore your hope, make you to focus on possibilities, make you to build confidence, and you will not abandon your journey because the future will be better than the past. Words may not be seen, but they act as the invisible bridge that connects people to hope, to possibilities, to love, and to life. This is why you do not have to see words as empty but as a very powerful and potent tool if they can be wielded correctly.
You do not have to use poetic language or grand eloquence before your words can heal. In fact, you do not have to draft a long speech to make someone feel better. Most times, it is not the length of the words or the usage of grand eloquence that matters, but the context of the words and the heart from which they are coming from. Something as little as "I am proud of you," or "I believe in you" can be what will strengthen someone who is fighting with low self-esteem and can even restore their confidence back. In a relationship, even a sincere "I am sorry" and an honest "I forgive you" can mend a broken relationship.

Each time you have a need to speak or to say something, first ask yourself if what you are about to say will heal someone's heart or break it, if your words will help build someone or destroy them. If you know that what you want to say might hurt the person, then there is no point saying it. Your words are supposed to be like water that is given to a thirsty person, and a light to someone in darkness. That is, your words should make someone feel better than they were, not putting them into worse situation. Choose your words before you speak, and let them be rooted in kindness and goodness.
Each day you live, and as you meet people, you may have opportunity to converse with them. Use this opportunity to change lives positively. Speaking positively and healing with your words does not mean mounting on the stage and using grand words to pysche the crowd. It can be as little as having a one-on-one conversation with someone. Say something positive to the people you meet.
