Here's to Empowerment !
A wise person once told me to be careful of what I verbalize because the words that come out of my mouth become an instant reality.
Let’s face it. We all have something we can find to complain about. And honestly, sometimes it just feels good to complain. Letting out the frustration to a willing listener tickles some inner comfort zone. I find that when I complain about my day, I do so for the sheer pleasure of protecting myself from the outside world. If I complain, the other person or situation is wrong. I’ve verbalized it to the world. So, why don’t I ever feel better?
If verbalizing equals reality, it isn’t at all surprising that complaining equals the complete opposite of empowerment. In fact, the very thing I’m complaining about takes on a life form that is far worse than the original thing I’m complaining about in the first place! The more I breathe life into it, the bigger it grows. What a force!
Imagine if we could use that force to our advantage by verbalizing only those things that we REALLY want to perpetuate? I think I’ll give it a try. And what could be a more perfect way to get my heart singing happy tunes than some fun stitching?!
Here’s to empowering our lives!
Enjoy!
