The Power Of Words
It’s an early Saturday morning, and I am excited to start writing. My best writings or speeches have always been in the early hours of the day. You know what I’m talking about…that precious time when you aren’t quite awake yet and your mind is open to the amazing creative energy that the Universe puts out. The energy connection that, as we start our day, we seem to disconnect from because we get so caught up in the busy-ness of the world.
Life experiences teach…
I want to share something I think is important. That is the fact that some people don’t realize how much their painful life experiences have taught them. Sure, we’ve learned “don’t ever do that again,” or “I know now I can’t trust that person,” but I’m talking about the little things that are HUGE. Things that can change your world.
Abuse can teach us things like…we learn to watch other people’s actions instead of just their words… We learn to notice body language and tone of voice… We learn to watch someone’s facial expressions while they’re talking… We learn to “feel” the energy when we walk into a room with or without people… We learn how to have compassion for someone without letting them take advantage of us… We learn when it’s time to cut something or someone loose or limit our time together.
The sad thing is, most of us don’t realize we’ve learned these gifts, and we don’t pay attention to our finely tuned intuition, so we continue to get hurt and hurt others, unintentionally.
Words are powerful…
One of the biggest things we’ve all learned is how powerful words are. Words said to someone with hate in our eyes and negative energy seething from us can place a scar on someone’s heart that will last a lifetime.
Words said with true caring and even love in our eyes, however, can change someone’s life in a positive way forever.
Painful experiences can be a gift…
The wisdom you’ve earned from these painful experiences are gifts. I want you to realize just how important you and your gifts are to someone who can’t seem to get out of the darkness by themselve.
You can use these gifts and be someone’s light. Helping others is an extremely powerful way to heal us. I know, because that’s what happened to me. I didn’t realize when I started assisting in raising money for others who had been affected by domestic abuse, via public speaking and teaching, that it was going to help me heal. But it did.
Use the wisdom that you’ve EARNED and “Speak Light”…
I really want to encourage you to use the wisdom that you’ve earned, not only to help yourselves, but also to reach out and help others. Sometimes all it takes to help someone out of the darkness is a few kind words. And I know we can all do that much. Then make that extra effort… add a smile. And the magic begins.
Let me ask you this…
Do you know someone who is in need of some kindness? Would you be willing to go out of your way and just offer one quick sentence of appreciation, encouragement, or compassion? Or maybe you could offer just a gentle touch on the arm and a smile?
Do it for them. Do it for you.
