I'll Hold You Up!

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!
