Words can bring life or death.

I think one of the saddest things I hear is how an Artist was crushed as a young student by the uncaring criticism of some Art teacher or some random person viewing an Art show and they stopped painting.

I would get someone telling me this every week.

Words are very hurtful.

Words destroy.

Lets be careful with our words, especially when dealing with loved ones and other Artists.

We are in one of the few professions where our work is put up on a wall and everyone believes they have the right to criticise us.

Well I believe that they do not have that right.

Careless words hurt and destroy lives and once said those words can never taken back.

Words are powerful they can bring life or they can bring death. Choose to be the one who uplifts fellow Artists and always has an encouraging, caring word to say.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit.

If life and death are in the power of our words, always choose to speak life into the lives of others.

Make a difference with your words, build others up, encourage, inspire and care, always put life into your words and be the example that will inspire others to follow.
