The
power of the spoken word. Many of us are aware of the power of the
spoken word, yet some of us fail to use it to our advantage. We,
instead, unknowingly use it to our disadvantage. I remember my
ex-husband and I would oftentimes say how we would always hold each
other down. Although we knew what we meant when we spoke those words,
the universe didn’t know what we meant. The universe doesn’t dissect our
words, it, however, takes our words at face value.
I
knew the power of the spoken word at that time, yet I used it (in that
situation) to my disadvantage, instead of to my advantage. Now, that’s
not to say that my ex-husband and I didn’t experience some success. We
experienced a nice amount of success. We traveled, owned a home and a
few luxury cars. But we eventually lost it all. In part because we
didn’t know how to hold each other up – we were too busy holding each
other down. Of course I didn’t realize this at that time. I only
realized this while going through my self healing process. So, as you
might imagine, I no longer say “I will hold you down” or “I want a man
who can hold me down”. I now say “I will hold you up”, or “I want a man
who can hold me up!” I am not looking for a man who can hold me down,
and I am not looking to hold a man down.
Choose carefully the words you speak, for your words do not return to you void.
Wishing you love, in its truth!
