There is a small observation I have made over the years in listening to folks, friends and customers as they browse around in my shop, or just come in to sit in "The Chair", and talk.

It is no earth shaking discovery. It is not even profound. However, odd as it may seem, it appears to be so very true.

I am not sure if it is the attitude that directs one's course through life....or.....the actual spoken word, having a physical effect on everything in it's sphere.
What I mean is this.......

I have noticed for example.....a friend who has worked very hard, been very successful.....fulfilled long standing dreams.....and had the world in his pocket.....along with numerous bazillion dollar bills at any given moment.....and still is not happy. And we all know that certainly money does not bring happiness. But he takes it another step past that.....
He constantly walks around saying out loud...just how much he hates his job.Or his lifestyle. The pressures.....stress.....all the stuff he worked so hard for. He just wants to run away...
Not just once, or once in a while, but over and over, to anyone who will listen. And suddenly....it's all gone......it's taken away. Lost. And now he is miserable. For real. Did he MAKE that happen? Was it his spoken words?
" God SAID....let there be_________......Couldn't He have just THOUGHT it all? It says ....He SPOKE it....

It is the same observation I have made with people who complain about not feeling good. Not just once in a while either. You know the type. Always needing this or that to keep away some sort of allergy or pain or cold or back stuff or whatever it might be that day. I know not being always 100% is a reality. But I am talking about those who think they are feeling something all the time. Depending on their mood, or what kind of stress is going on around them. It's an attitude.
And ya know what? Complain about being sick all the time and guess what? They do actually get sick more often than other folks. Which just feeds the circle.....

And the list goes on....think about it. Being negative begets negativity.
I ain't one a them "spiritual healer" kinda guys or nothing. Rub your herbs, drink yer teas...take yer vitamins....pray to the sun...moon...stars...facing East...West....face down for all I care.

But ain't none of that crap gonna save ya....if ya don't have a positive and forward looking attitude ingrained into your being. It is a way of being...thinking...constant and persistent. Not just on Sundays or Wednesday afternoons.

Think about the words that you speak out loud. I really do believe they are more powerful than you might imagine. And consequently, they direct your attitude....

I remember once when I was a kid, my Mom lost it for a second, and told me I was enough to try a Saint's patience.
I never forgot that. And it wasn't even that bad. But it was out loud, and I got the message. I have always felt bad I was the cause of her feeling that way.

Out loud......what a concept.

I saw...no heard...a woman call her small daughter a f*ckin idiot in a restaurant the other day....out loud. You should have seen the physical reaction of that little girl while Mom was cleaning up the pop. I could feel her pain, and knew right away....this was not the first time that little girl had been told that. I felt her pain alright....still do. Who would want to live like that? No wonder kids are having such a difficult time figuring things out. Instead of spilling a meaningless pop....she became a public f*ckin idiot.
Actually, now that I think about it....the Mom's cruel outburst affected everyone who heard it. Most probably shrugged it off.
I didn't. It was painful.
so....
As an experiment....keep track in your own mind of the things you say out loud. If you have children, friends, or older relatives....try it out. Add a few extra "positives" to your vocabulary. And see what happens. Over time.

It takes time. thank Goodness!

Otherwise that guy I yelled at for running that red light this morning would have dropped dead right there while driving his car!

Stay Tuned,

I do
