Truer Words

My girlfriend posted this status today…..
“It is true that everyone has a voice BUT not everyone is saying something worth hearing. Gotta be mindful… NOT everyone smiling has your best interest at hand”.
Thanks Michelle!
In the past year I have had so many Ah ha moments and have grown so much as a person. The message above evokes two major lessons learned this year. The first about words and the second about negativity!
Words are so important. How many of us are aware of the things we say or how they affect others. So many times we may say something like “You are so stupid”, now this may be meant in jest but do you realize what kind of negative energy you are placing on this person? Words are used as a way to communicate and convey thought, emotions, and lessons to others. Use your words in a positive productive manner to really say something! Words are energy, both positive and negative. Do we realize the energy that we are putting out into the universe? It is said that by putting things out in the universe, you are essentially setting things in motion. Are we all aware of what we are putting out there? One thing I have learned is to say what I mean and mean what I say…. Guess what – thinking before you speak is not a crime, I try and make my words count. I don’t want to be one of those who have nothing worth saying.
Now…. NOT everyone smiling has your best interest at hand…. Again… truer words… Have you ever given someone some good news you received and they had a smile on their face, but darkness in their eyes? Those are the people you do not want in your orbit! Someone with a heart invested in your friendship or you as a person will always be overjoyed at your accomplishments, successes and always invested in your happiness. Please release the others from your space. There is a saying that everything (and in this case every one) has a reason and a season. Learn the lesson that was meant for you and let go.
Now trust that I know that it is easier said than done. There have been many instances where I was so wrapped up in the hurt that I was missing the lesson. But I have seen God show up and show out! We as humans, within any type of faith and/or religion have got to learn to adhere to HIS will. When a well has run dry, when the chapter has ended, when the leaves have fallen, it’s time to let go. When in doubt learn to turn inward and listen to your inner voice for guidance. Keeping negativity in your space, only allows that hurtful energy to grow.
Do not take on negative energy. Engaging a negative person or stooping to their level allows them to transfer their negative energy to you. Now you have it and they are released from it. Is it worth it? Take steps to block out their negativity. Deny the negativity and affirm your positivity and strength. If it is someone you must be around, just knowing within that you will not take on their negativity brings you a ray of peace.
Pastor T.D. Jakes has a wonderful message about friends. I have learned to apply this to people in general as well.
