Words lead
There is a desire I can not shake off inside me, to share love and truth over people. We are filled with so much negative bias lies on a daily basis. The way things are presented to us seems to have a undertone of people's opinions rather than just telling a true story.
Having done the whole avoiding social media business many times, the biggest break was around two years. When I decided too log back in within 10 minutes someone DM me saying welcome back. Someone was actually watching and wondering where I had gone, in that time I would of welcomed them checking up on me in person when in need.
I do love to give a thumbs up or heart emoji but if it something someone has said that invokes unkind strong opinions or differs in a way that seems wrong my mind, if I can't say anything constructive or nice I keep my words to myself. We cannot undo or unsay something, neither can the people who has done something wrong to us because we have lived it. There is a time to speak up for the vulnerable or to give constructive words, but right now so much words are thrown around, It's good to ask yourself will my words in times of frustration make a difference to this situation nine times out of ten it's a no.
It takes a small amount of words to spread like wildfire so imagine what a uplifting and encourage does for others. What greater way than to say it on clothes. Imagine the amount of lives that are saved or changed because of the right words spoken at the right time.
This is our journey let’s make a impact in others lives and our own. Let our self talk be seasoned with grace, forgiveness, empathy and knowing our worth. Grace is knowing were not perfect and we make mistakes but we do not need to hold onto them because we want to change and improve. Forgiving the things of the past that hang over us. Empathy starts inwards then we are able to apply it well outwards to others, notice people who are critical of themselves are also the biggest critics of others. Knowing our worth means we know how we should be treated and will not allow anything less than. We are called to create healthy boundaries with people and the world around us.
Once we continue to build on these things each day at a time, we extend it out to others. It just happens organically because our hearts are in order.
Imagine the community we could build……..
