Using positive language
The document discusses using positive language when communicating with others. Positive language builds trust and confidence by focusing on abilities and alternatives, using phrases like "let's look at our options" rather than negative language that undermines others with phrases like "it will never work". Maintaining a positive tone through language impacts thoughts, words, behaviors, habits, and ultimately destiny.
