i am hit! bullseye! from my early readings for inspiration and before starting my day at work i came across this beautiful passage of which i would like to adapt for the next days to come. we all need this. and since i am known to be such a person who talks whatever comes to mind, i am reminded today to pause, ponder on the words before i let out of my mouth because agree or not....our words have really power. sabi nga "we are what we think" so i better think only 'good' thoughts and thus only speak words that uplift, inspire, awaken, and empower. let me live it!
Vietnamese Zen Teacher Thich Nhat Hahn offers this reminder:
“Aware of the suffering caused by unmindful speech . . . I vow to cultivate loving speech.
Knowing that words can create happiness or suffering . . . I vow to learn to speak truthfully, with words that inspire self-confidence, joy, and hope.
I am determined not to spread news that I do not know to be certain, and not to criticize or condemn things of which I am not sure.
I will refrain from uttering words that can cause division or discord, or that can cause the family or community to break.”
