Action Speaks

Words are beautiful and they have power.  I have learned through life experience to pay close attention to if a persons actions line up with their words. Here is a little secret beween me and you...

A person can either speak positive words with negative actions, speak positive words and secretly have negative feelings in their heart towards you or both at the same time.

That's ice cold. Brrrrrrrrrrr

 

 It's not the sugar in someones words, but the razor blade underneath what they are saying. The words, deeds and actions should consistently line up. If they don't, you have a classic case of deception on your hands. If you want to know a persons heart towards you, just watch and their actions will tell on them. The key to dealing with this type of challenge is to rise above it and continue to walk in love and kindness.

 

The greatest book ever written says this:  The words of their mouth were smoother than butter, but WAR was in their heart: their words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords-Psalm 55:21

This is a great illustration of the fact that everyone around you is not necessarily for you.

Despite what might be around you, reflect love and light because your love and light is contagious. I hope they catch it:-)

Pay Attention...

I have a heart for people. I give people a lot of passes, even the ones that don't deserve it. Sometimes I see a clear visual of who someone is and I try to paint a new picture. The reality is that even when people aren't talking they are saying something. Sometimes the loudest message comes from what is not spoken.

And then there are those times when what is not spoken parallels with what is spoken and the pain of what you see is like a jagged javelin going straight into your heart. And the pain of your discovery has you in an Anacondas grip.

Swift.

Unmerciful.

And if you are not careful, it will choke the life out of you. I believe that every problem has a solution and sometimes its simple. No matter how subtle, when someone shows you who they are...you better believe it. Deception is subtle and never obvious, otherwise it wouldn't be deception.

Have you ever discovered something about someone that you wish you didn't know?

 

Mistakes can be a good thing

Mistakes get a bad rap. We all make them and if we are not making mistakes, it probably means we really aren't doing anything. I have learned so much more from my failures than I have learned from my successes. Expecting perfection from yourself or anyone else is a blueprint for disaster. Mistakes are a necessary part of life, but make sure that you learn from the mistakes you make. If you are afraid to make mistakes or fail at anything, you will accomplish nothing in life. Get over it and keep trying.

I have learned so much from my mistakes, I am thinking about making a few more. My mistakes have always taught me valuable lessons.

How about you?
