Any request from another – heard by you – should not be ignored; for it is coming from yourself! ~ Neville Goddard
Words that speak what is in the heart are filled with spirit and spirit is life. This is true… words have power. I’m sure you’ve noticed… this is a noisy, word-filled world, and many of the words we hear and read are, to put it nicely, ‘waste’: no real information, oftentimes lies or exaggeration, and sometimes vile and polluting.
What harm has been spread through words. Would people change if they realized their words shape their fate? Hateful, loving, truthful, deceitful, angry, reconciling… speaking a word is actually doing a deed. We learn to be conscious of our deeds, knowing that what goes around comes around, as they say. But what about words?
When I considered writing this article, my thoughts began with not ‘wasting words’. There is always a desire to offer real content, out of respect for both the reader and the power of words. Also there’s the issue of deaf ears. Certain subjects fall on deaf ears, for example, the time I tried to persuade a relative that she didn’t have to worry about me going to hell.
