The Good Words Pledge:
I believe that there is power in united effort.
I believe in the power of the spoken word and I realize that I am held accountable for even my lightest words,
I desire to be a member of the Good Words Club that I may unite in supporting others as well as myself to speak only good, true words and to participate in actions that support those Good Words.
I agree to guard my conversations against all words of gossip, anxiety, foolishness, impurity, untruthfulness, crime, fear, nagging, complaining, sickness, poverty, vengeance, and anger, and to turn them toward words of trust, wisdom, goodness, health, prosperity, praise, joy, and goodwill.
I will abide by the rules of the Good Words Club for a period of no less than one month and if I notice that I am not using Good Words or Good Actions, I will take a deep breath and start over again; for I know that it is that simple to start anew, to begin again.
Signed _____________________________ Date _________________
Bonus Action: I will, at the end of one month of participation send a report of the changes I have personally experienced from being willing to participate in this Good Words Pledge.
