Words
Words can be beautiful, magical, loving, ugly, destructful, hateful and everlasting.
Our words can heal, our words can harm, in a matter of seconds, we can uplift or tear down.
I, myself am still learning to pause, to stop myself from saying something that can never be taken back. I've said things in the heat of the moment that I immediately have regretted, wishing I could just swallow my words back into my mouth, wishing I could have some control over my tongue.
I've thumbed out texts or emails that I wish had never been read, words of disparity, words of fear, words of jealousy. I've also deleted some that I regret not sending, words of encouragement, words of empathy, words of positively.
Why do we do this to one another? Why is being a source of positivity in peoples lives so hard? Why is happiness for others something that we become envious over instead of rejoicing in their peace?
I want to be a positive influence in people's lives, I want everyone I come in contact with to walk away feeling better about themselves and about our encounter. This is my goal.
" When we feel love and kindness towards others it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also develop inner happiness and peace" ~ Dalai Lama
