Sometimes they seem harmless..  Words that is, we say them, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, and even sometimes whisper them; we think them, and even writing them.  No matter how use them wards once a person hears perceives, or reads them they take on a power of their own that can really change another life .

Encouraging and positive words encourage, Kind and loving words are kind and make others feel good; hurtful and negative words breakdown people and make them feel bad.  We must be very careful and think before we speak.

“the more you talk, the more likely you are to say something foolish (Hurtful)”  Ecclesiastes 5:3.  As this says talking to much is not always the best thing to do sometimes the best answer is no answer at all.

Lets remember that our words have power and if we are not careful we may hurt someone. Thanks again for stopping by and reading my post, as always if you like what you read, take it with you and if not, just let it go and check back again later because who know maybe next time you will want to take it with you…

 

Love this statement I heard from a Youtube video by Darius Daniels.  We may use a lot of words trying to let people know who we are..  But as this says we are not identified by our words we are identified by our actions.  We may tell people we are kind, patient, loyal, and loving, but if we treat people rudely, and are not patient with them those words we used will be empty and  will not identify us..  Only our rude and impatient actions will..

So as many of my last blogs have been about words do matter.  We need to be really mindful of our words and actions.  Striving hard to line up our words with how we act, understanding that the words we speak can make a difference in our actions if we willing to follow thru with the action behind them.

Thats it for now, thanks for stopping by and reading what I write.  So as the title of this page says ‘Take it, or just let it go.’

 

Wow this says so much..  No need to listen to all that self talk about how we can’t do something or how thats just how we are, we alway act that way.  These are all things that can be classified as the enemy.  We don’t need to be saying these things to ourselves.  We are just taring ourselves down and we definitely don’t need to be doing that, the world does that enough just being in it.

It seems that negative stuff comes from all directions, not just the TV or school anymore.  Most of us carry it in our pockets, our cell phone…  We just seem to not be able to put them down either.  We hear it ding or feel it vibrate and we just cannot help but look at it…  I do this to, especially at work, I think I need to be so fast to respond, its good for business… We are getting constant input and if its negative thats when we become that way without even realizing it.

So lets just be careful to take sometime to evaluate our thinking.  Listen to how you are responding to those who you are talking to, is it with kindness and compassion?  Or is it rude and harsh?  How would you react if someone responded to you the same way you are responding to them???  If you realize you don’t like the way you are responding, then maybe that enemy is brewing inside you, and be happy you realized it because that is the first step to changing it…  And it is really easy to do..  Just start filling you mind with good kind loving thoughts and that what will come out..

Be the change you want to see!!!!   Thanks again for stopping by and reading my post, as always if you like what you read, take it with you and if not, just let it go and check back again later because who know maybe next time you will want to take it with you…

So what else needs to be said, it seem obvious that we would us good words all the time then… But sometimes life just seem to get so crazy that I think we just use the first word that comings to our minds without even thinking what we are saying just responding with our emotions.  Sometimes that is not a good idea….  Well at least for me.

I really like this saying by George, it may cost a little bit of the tongue sometimes to use good words, is that so much..  Just my thought for the night and wanted to share with you.

Maybe tomorrow lets try to remember this little saying and use good words.

Now you decide was it worth it, are you going to “Take it, or let it go”.  Thank you for stopping by and until next time TTFN…

The last post I wrote about the words we say to others and those are important and impactful, but for this post I want to write about the words we speak to ourselves…  These can really change the landscape of your life… Either for the good or for the bad…  Somethings we tell ourselves we wouldn’t even imagine saying to another but yet we think its okay to speak these things to ourselves.  What we sow we shall surely reap and that especially goes for the words we speak to ourselves..

Saying negative things and get negative results.. Say positive things and get positive results..  Now I know this just seem too simple and corny but it really works.  Now that doesn’t me we can just say things and they happen but it truly is amazing how we accomplish so much more and feel so much better if we say encouraging and positive words to ourselves…

Try just for a day noticing how you speak to yourself, try to be aware of the things your saying and make a mental note or write it in a note book.  Then at the end of the day do an evaluation of it and see how you are doing, you may be surprised.  Now just in the morning try to change and say only encouraging and kind words to yourself and see how you feel and how you day turns out..   Did it feel any different?  Did things turn out the way you thought?

Now you decide was it worth it, are you going to “Take it, or let it go”.  Thank you for stopping by and until next time TTFN..

I saw these words on someones shirt in yoga the other day..  Have you ever thought about the words you use when you speak to others?  What about the words you use when you speak to yourself??  Now I know what you thinking I don’t speak to myself only crazy homeless people do that I seen them on the streets downtown..  Well actually we all do!!  Some of us just don’t move our lips when we do it…  And its okay if you don’t want to admit it remember the name of my website, Take it or let it go, so just let it go and I will see you next time…. But for those of you know what I am talking about… WOW sometimes those words are loud, I mean really loud…   Its what kept me from this blog for so long..

We could probably talk about this topic for a really long time, actually till the end of time and still not cover everything there is to cover…  But for this visit lets talk about those words we use when speak to others.  Are we using encouraging words, are we building others up?  Or are we using words that are tearing others down, causing them pain and grief?  Many times when we do the latter its because we have been hurt ourselves or we have not dealt with a past issue that keeps use from being mindful of how we are effecting others..  I know there could be countless other reasons for us lashing out to others but maybe for today lets just try to think about the words we are using towards others and “‘Do unto others as you would have done unto you” or however that saying goes.  Just think before you speak, and ask yourself is that how I would want another to speak to me..

For now thats all I got, thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave a comment..   Hope you enjoy your day…

 

Sometimes we just don’t think we can do somethings.. We look at someone else that is doing it and we think, I couldn’t do that… Then we either don’t even try or we just stop what we were doing.

Well that is what happened here…. I just didn’t feel I was qualified to post anything here.

As I stated in one of my posts, I didn’t do well in any english or writing class, let alone typing (keyboarding for some of you).  So naturally it is easy for me to think I can’t do this…

Well after a long, I mean long summer break, we are back with a new conviction to keep sharing and inspiring all who are stopping by to see what this site has to offer…

Thanks again for checking in and looking to see what is here for the taking or letting go, Whichever floats your boat..

You can say it so many different ways, Aparigraha in yoga terminology, deny thy self in the Bible, and Take it easy a song by the Eagles (just kidding).  Its easy to say but something totally different to actually do…  I’m no expert by any means but, just have had an experience lately that has required me to be aware of my need of letting go..

Whether its a material item, something physical or emotional, or just some past experience that just won’t go away, its sometimes very difficult to stop doing or thinking about it.  There can be so many reasons as to why we just keep hanging on and I am not going to discuss that because that is a whole other topic but, I am going to discuss Letting go…

Becoming aware is the first step and the most difficult because if we knew this was a problem we would not be doing it right…  I have started doing a little meditation to see if I can help discover things I am holding on and in need of letting go..  I think being aware and then slowly working on letting go with a little of self talk is where we need to start.  Maybe talk with someone you can trust about what your struggling with.  Just try noticing these items that are holding you back and work on letting go…

If you didn’t have success today don’t beat yourself up about it because, tomorrow you will get a fresh start…  And please remember live each day like it is you first, because first is always better then last and yesterday is gone and there is no promise of a tomorrow…

This is something I’ve been working on for sometime now.  Well ever since I read Wishes Fulfilled by Dr. Wayne Dyer he has a chapter that speaks about this.   It seems that we spend so much of our time on what happened yesterday or what we are going to do tomorrow that we totally miss the joy of what we are doing now.

I realize we have to spend some time thinking and preparing for tomorrow but “there is enough worry for today let tomorrow take care of its self,” Mathew 6:34 of the Bible.  It does make a lot of sense tho, if we are constantly worrying about the past or the future we will never enjoy the present.

So maybe just for a moment try enjoying what you are doing right now, forget the past and don’t think of the future, focus on what your reading and how your feeling in this moment.  It will surprise you at how difficult this really is because we are so use to multi-tasking that we just can’t do one thing.  We live in this world now where we try to do everything at the same time, we drive and talk on the phone, even when we eat we seem to have to read or look on some social media sight.

We are training ourselves that doing one thing isn’t good enough and it is becoming a habit we don’t even realize.  Just being aware will actually start breaking this habit and help you realize you are an amazing person and living wonderful life…

A blog about anything and everything under the sun.  Hope you take it or just let it go, but please come back and try it again cause it may just inspire you show love to this wonderful place we call home….
