Overcoming the heaviness of words

 “Words can make a person or break a person” . Words have so much power so we should make sure we should always use it for uplifting each other and not hurting each other.

At times someone can tell us something knowingly or unknowingly and it can deeply hurt us. We may counter react instantly which has its own consequences or carry it within us without expressing. If we are going on a picnic how many things would we carry with us physically? We would like to have only the minimum essentials.

We journey through life and carry things in our mind . So why make our own journey heavy carrying others words which cause heaviness in us. Shouldn’t we drop that down and make our own journey easier. Someone said something and it has affected us negatively may be we are carrying it since few days or weeks or months or years. This heaviness is something which we can choose to discard at this moment. May be the person who said could not have intended that at all, or may be they told something bad but has changed to a better person now. Why should we unnecessarily carry another person’s ignorance or arrogance in our mind?

Be very choosy about what you carry in your mind because you cannot give it to another porter by paying money. Keep the mind light. Keep only the words which will be of use to you in the journey of life. Keep only those words which will value add to you and give you positivity. Discard the rest and keep the mind light for a smooth journey.

In the same way we need to be very careful in what we say as we never know how it will impact the other person. We never know how many years they may carry it through with them. Always say only good things and motivate each other’s spirit. Let’s make our journey and others journey light.
