As powerful as one’s mind can be, we can render our mind powerless with the words we feed it. The truth is, our minds are powerful or out of control because of the words we feed it. So if we feed our minds with good words, that’s what will be mostly saved up and if we feed it with something unhealthy, our mind will as well save that up. A person to me, is smart or brilliant because of the words they feed themselves with and how they are always conscious of what goes into their minds. It goes to show how much they value themselves or not.
So in my today's post, I’d be sharing a little something about “WORDS”. We all know that words are basically, those constructed or unconstructed letters we communicate with. As a person who isn’t dumb, you will definitely have to communicate to someone using words and others will also communicate to you in the same way as well. No doubts, there are many ways to communicate to people and use of words is just one part of it.
Generally, we are advised to be very mindful of the words we either say or hear because they are most times the things that make or break us. When you always find yourself in an environment where you are always told nice things about yourself, over time that will help you to always want to do better but then, if for any reason you get to find someone that ever tells you otherwise, that will make you feel very bad even though the person was only saying the truth. And same goes for someone who has always been scolded for most of their lives, if they ever get to see anyone that welcomes them, there will likewise be a sign of unbelief in the person’s behavior.
So in as much as we want to hear good things about ourselves or we now even enjoy hearing only the bad things about ourselves, the only way we can be sure of an healthy mind is if these words are balanced. We should learn to appreciate an environment where we are criticized and praise when we do the things we do. It shouldn’t be just one way. As the saying goes, “too much of everything is bad”. We have to always know when something is becoming too much because it most times mean something is going wrong.
In as much as you have people always telling you the sweetest words, be weary if they never tell you the bitter things too because one day, someone who is not so close to you will tell you the truth and you will feel awkward about yourself especially when you know the person is being truthful. Sometimes because of how we’ve built our relationships, we find it so hard to tell those we claim to love the truth, whether good or bad but that shouldn’t be so.
Words are powerful and they form the basis of our beliefs and values. If we are not feeding our minds with the right words at the right time, it’s only a matter of time before we start experiencing some changes that might not be noticeable until when it becomes hard to adjust. If you are feeding your mind with one particular kind of words for a long time, make sure it is something that helps you be the best version of yourself as a person, if not, strive to flee from doing the things that make you get those words and see yourself do better.
Thank you for stopping by, it’s a pleasure having you here again. I wish you a beautiful day and week ahead ❤️.
