Words: Blessing or Curse



We all speak to so many people through out our day...
But do we really hear what we are saying?
I have heard so many times to be mindful of what you say...
Your words leave a footprint on the heart of the one you are speaking to.

Our mouth is a very important part of us...not only does it feed us
the nourishment we need to stay alive...
But it also feeds others with words of kindness...love...hope...encouragement.
This can be such a blessing. But...

Not all food is good for our bodies...It can make us sick...cause damage to our vital organs...and just make us feel bad.
Thus, words that are spoken that are unkind...unloving..mean...discouraging.
This can be a curse.

Some do not realize the power of their words. They speak without a second thought to what they are giving to the other person. Be mindful of your words

Remember
1.Words are powerful
2.Words can heal
3.Words can hurt
4.Words can save a life
5.Words can take a life

I want to speak blessings to others. As humans it is difficult at times to really hear what we say...I am in no way saying that it is easy. But if everyone started today with just one kind word...The days following would get easier...more kind words would follow. So speak mindfully and leave a loving footprint on the heart of another today...

“Kind words will unlock an iron door.”
(Turkish Proverbs)

Words To Live By




Words To Live By

Don't undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others...
It is because we are different that each
of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people
deem important...
Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest
to your heart...
Cling to that as you would your life, for without
them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or the future...
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the
days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give...
Nothing is really over … until the moment
you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less
than perfect...
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks...
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's
impossible to find...
The quickest way to receive love is to give love...
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly...
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your Dreams. To be without
dreams is to be without hope...
To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget
where you've been...
But also know where you're going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
every step of the way...
