A BIG ASK - BUT I GET IT
|| This summary written on Monday 29th January 2024
The speaker in today’s session is asking a lot, yet the message is simple. We should already be aware that what we think inside our mind will shape which direction we take through life. But what about the words we speak that someone hears. Or worst still, the written word that continues to work, time and time again.
I do fully understand the message from today’s speaker. It’s an obvious one. Yet is it a message we hear and don’t live by? How hard is it in reality to pay attention to every single word that we think, that we speak aloud, that we commit to paper? Speaking for myself, I find this to be a practice I can’t get correct every time, as I’m sure you’re aware of by now!
I suppose we should remind ourselves that there is nobody living on earth that is perfect in every way. We are, after all, vulnerable humans with habits, unique personalities and natural tendencies to do and say things our own way. But what if we embrace this message as a guide to follow? What if we learn to use our words a little more conservatively, with thought and only when needed? Surely that’s a lesson we can work on?
As a sensitive person, I am easily offended by others. I take the other person’s spoken words to heart. If they speak to me positively, I am warm and receptive. If their words are negative, I am hurt and mentally wounded. I suspect there are many more people like me too.
Although today’s speaker’s words are grammatically a bit of a jumble, which might be my fault in transcribing them, the message contains a lot of power that we could and should all adhere to.
Post Script
There is an idea for an exercise you can do in this message today. Perhaps share your own thoughts on single words that emit immense power.
