Your Words are a Powerful Force

Your Words are a Powerful Force

Author: The Living Hour May 26, 2026 Duration: 11:40

Listen to episode 1124 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Your Words as a Powerful Force. Edited and adapted from The Mental Cure by Warren Felt Evans.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Your words are charged with the very life of you -- the vital force of your soul. They affect not only the mind, but they sink into the interior depths of our being. They are not like leaves loosened from the trees by an autumn wind, and strewn upon a lake to float upon its surface. They have spiritual gravity, which causes them to sink into the hidden depths of the spirit.

Words are the index of character. They enclose within them our thoughts, and the tone with which they are spoken indicates the state of our affections. The utterance of a single word can reveal the love, fear, or hate that lurks within it, and, as such, our life and character are laid open to public view. By the effect of our words, others can perceive the cause. The heart is the fountain; words are the stream. If the fountain is clear as crystal, the issuing spring will be the water of life.

For nearly a decade, the voices of some of history's most profound thinkers have found a new home in the modern day. Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness, from The Living Hour, draws directly from the original texts of classic writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Helen Keller, and Booker T. Washington. Instead of modern interpretations, each episode is carefully adapted from their actual essays and books, allowing their timeless wisdom on perseverance, inner peace, and purpose to speak for itself. This approach creates a unique space where personal growth is explored through a historical lens, connecting lessons from the past to the challenges of today. With over twenty-five million downloads, the podcast has become a trusted resource for anyone looking to cultivate resilience, improve their mental and physical well-being, and explore the spiritual dimensions of a meaningful life. You'll hear curated insights that address the whole self-mind, body, and spirit-offering practical philosophy for navigating work, relationships, and personal ambition. It’s a deeply rooted alternative to fleeting motivational quotes, providing substantial content that encourages reflection and actionable change. Tune in for a quiet moment of guidance that feels both ancient and immediately relevant.
