I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness, like holding the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Perhaps you have some untapped talent you may regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Words
Words matter. The words that we speak to the world, the words we speak to our children, and our partners, and the words we speak to ourselves.
Therefore, we should choose our expressions wisely.
Our words become thoughts, thoughts that we hold onto. A simple word can become highly destructive if it is not processed correctly.
For example, when children are told “no” but do not understand that it is for their safety, no becomes a negative word to them. Or when we tell someone we are too busy for them, they may process that as they are not important enough. Therefore, they start negatively speaking to themselves.
When we express ourselves in an understandable way to everyone involved, the whispers heard cannot hurt. Therefore, we must put care behind every expression we speak and ensure we only want the best for everyone involved.
We must remember our words impact others and the world in many ways, so we should choose them thoughtfully and do our best to fill the world with beautiful expressions of kindness and compassion.
Today’s challenge:
Choose your words wisely.
