WORDS...... ARE 10 A PENNY

Today will be a good day to look at words thrown about without so much as a thought, for their effects. Whether spoken or written. The written word can be  life-changing, if you can get over yourself !!!! So too the spoken word.

Deciding to make a change within,
to change the language patterns, think about what is said, and think on the words - are they a Positive or Negative or is it just an annoying noise - like the car radio with just enough sound to be heard but you can't make out what is being said.
We talk so easily and about so much ..... drivel . When do we realise what power or influence lie in the words we use? Some never do.
In the beginning God said, "Let there be Light." And there was Light. The whole of creation was created by the power of the words God used.

What do you say about your words?
About our country: The country is a mess. The people are corrupt. The country is bankrupt. One the most dangerous countries in Africa.
About people: You are a pig? You're loser. You are stupid, incompetent. You make me sick! You are a vexation to me.
And about yourself: I can't. I am tired. I am sick. I'm sitting. I just want to rest. I'm depressed. I have lost my faith in God! I'm fat! I'm ugly!  I'm scared.... I'm powerless! I'm hopeless! I am helpless! A victim.

Be careful about what you say. If most words that come out of your mouth are negative and self pitying, they will have a negative effect. On you and all those around you.

It is time for change. Time to get rid of all those negative words. Change is never easy and in order to get rid of negative language patterns we also need to change our negative attitudes - put the brain into gear before opening the mouth. To speak words that build instead of breaking down . Over the country, over the people who irritate you, over yourself - if you are feeling worthless.
Speak positivity and life back into yourself and into others with life giving words. Words are not just letters. They are loaded with huge amounts of power. Power to build up and power to break down.

So let's start this week by really thinking about the words we use. Let's  think about what we create around us with our words. Even the unspoken words in our Mind Mutter sessions.
Do you easily gossip? Fond of spreading bad news? To create bad vibes between people? Regularly complain - just as a habit? Do you curse or bless yourself?

It is time for change. Time to get rid of all those negative words. Change is never easy and in order to get rid of  negative language patterns, we also need to change our negative attitudes.

Start this week by really thinking about the words we use. Let's do this by considering our words in silence . How do you feel about what is happening, that makes you want to lash out. Taste the words and thoughts. FEEL the effect of the words you want to say - are you going to speak words that are building up instead of breaking down. Look to your inner thoughts. Your mind is the engine that drives your words. The thinking, that which deals with your mind, with your heart, determines your entire future. And that of others around you.

Speak with a firm grip on all the negatives today. All the tricks. All the lies. The rage. The gossip. The acidic words.
Let them die......
