As a writer, I believe that words matter and I've long prided myself on choosing "just right" words in my writing. But that's a lot harder to do when I'm speaking, and, while I try to consider the impact of my words on others, rarely do I bother to stop and think about the impact my own words might have on me. Silly, really, since I know what a powerful tool self-talk can be.

And that's just what Michael Hyatt is getting at in this blog post. What we say and how we say it impacts not just those around us, but our closest audience -- us -- as well.

Have a great weekend. Be kind to yourself and those around you.
