say more

“Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours.”

Talk less, say more.  I like that a lot.  We often talk so much but say so little.  Our heads go a million miles a minute and maybe instead of racing with the thoughts in our heads it would be better if we listened more and spoke of the wisdom we receive from taking a pause, not filling the space with judgment or gossip.  If we treated our words as precious words that mean something, would we speak so harshly?  I think we take for granted the impact of our words.  I think when we complain or blame we are merely giving our power away.  You always have a choice when you speak, to either tear down or build up.  What do you choose?  How do you choose what to say?  What do you want to accomplish?  These are important questions on your quest to live in peace.  Your words are you, so choose them wisely. 

Today I am grateful for the opportunities that always show up in my life.
