Words are like arrows; once you shoot them, you can’t get them back.

I’m reading the book called “Los cuatro acuerdos” (The four agreements), a book about the toltec wisdom and in the first agreement the author talk about the importance of the words that we say, and we listen.

The words have the power to give you the life you want to live, living in peace in this world. However the words can be a poison if you treat them bad such insulting, speaking bad to others, and the most important, speaking bad to you.

So I am trying to be more aware of the way I speak, both to others and to myself. The words I choose shape my thoughts, my actions, and the way I see the world. If I want a better life, I need to start by choosing better words. Little by little, agreement by agreement, I want to build a mind that supports me instead of hurting me.
