The words we speak...

-
What if every time we opened our mouths, we thought about what we were about to say before saying them?
What if we thought about those words and who it would hurt? What if we thought about who we would upset? What if every time we opened our mouths, we thought about our words first, really thought about them, long and hard, and then only said them?
In a perfect world, this would work out perfectly. Then, no one would get hurt by anyone’s words. No one would take offence. No would be angered. But, we do not live in a perfect world. We live in a world where we are definitely not perfect, but we should not use our imperfections as an excuse to hurt others. All too often we hear ‘Well I am not perfect’, and yes we are not, but is that reason enough to use others as our personal punching bags? No it is not!
It is a thin line between love and hate. When we hurt those we love, or those we love hurt us, we so easily cross that line and say things we never imagined we would say. Such is the complexities of life. This world in which so many imperfect people try to live together in perfect harmony. It seems like a battle we are unable to win.
Today, I am once again inspired by words. Only this time, it is not someone’s wise words. This time I am not inspired by a quote or lyrics from a song. Today, I am inspired by the words that we speak. You and I. The beautiful words. The colourful words. The inspiring words. The hurtful words. The ego inflated words. The sugar-coated words. The words that we speak. I am inspired by those words today, because they are the words that will affect our seconds, our minutes, our hours, our days, our weeks, our months, our years, our decades, and our eternity. The words we speak and send out to the universe carry weight, and more often than not, we receive what we ask for, what we say, what we meditate upon, consciously and unconsciously, so be careful what you say and who you say it to.
Your words can heal, but your words can also break.

Take Care

What Susie says about Sally...

‘What Susie says about Sally, says a lot more about Susie than it says about Sally.’ I came across this and thought it would be a sin not to post this. I know I have written about this before but I thought I should say something about it again. How quick are we to judge others? It really takes nothing nowadays for someone to say something bad about someone else. It has become almost second nature to open our mouths and to spread a story about someone else. In most cases, it does not even concern us at all. We spend way too much time concerned with the lives of others when we should be focused on making our own lives better. And it is true, what you say about someone else really does say more about you than it does about them. If you make it a habit of spreading stories, lies, rumours, whatever it may be, soon, you will have a reputation. And no one will believe you when you bad mouth others, because they already know that you have a reputation of doing so. The bottom line is t...

The clouds will fade...

I love rainy days. Days like today. I love them. The air seems so much cleaner. I inhale it and I feel alive. I feel alive. Rain has a cleansing effect. It falls down to the Earth and wipes all the dirt away. It penetrates the ground and works its way through every soil granule and blade of grass it can find. It leaves its mark on everything it touches. It cleanses. And then, it makes way for growth. That is what rain does. It touches the Earth and makes flowers grow, it makes grass green, and it nourishes and feeds so that growth can take place. And after the rain has stopped, the dark clouds that once threatened are gone, and it leaves us with a beautiful rainbow and the sun that eventually makes its way through the clouds. After the rain, growth takes place and the sun does eventually shine again. And in our lives, it works basically the same way. The dark clouds arise in the form of our problem and obstacles, chasing the sun away. They chase our joy away. They hover in our s...

They Chose My Womb

-
I often wondered if it would ever happen for me… I often wondered if having life growing inside    me would be something I would experience too.  You know how those thoughts of doom and gloom enter your mind and try to convince you that it is merely something you will witness and never have the pleasure of experiencing first hand. And as the years rolled by, those thoughts grew and gained strength.  I had often obsessed over it. Pretended not to be bothered, but secretly obsessing over it. Until it consumed me.  When I lost my Father and my best friend, the obsession grew. Almost as though I were trying to replace these two lives I lost with another. But continuously, I was disappointed. And so the thoughts grew. The thoughts became stronger and more prominent.  I didn’t know how to wait on God’s timing anymore, and frankly, I didn’t know if I wanted to. I became selfish and trusted Him less, although I still prayed for some kind of miracle. Which sounds we...
