The Power of Words and Thoughts - Emem Ossei
Chapter 1: The Power of Words
Take time to listen to yourself talk; be critical of what you say. Just as an author dictates into a recorder or a student diligently takes notes in class, reflecting on your speech can unveil powerful insights. The words we speak carry immense energy that affects not just ourselves but also those around us. Even casual remarks made in jest can create a ripple effect in our psyche and that of others. Our pets, too, are influenced by the energy emitted through our words.
Sometimes, we say things without thinking, only to wonder later why those words have such a profound impact on our lives. This is because our words are not merely sounds; they are potent forces of universal energy.
We often underestimate the significance of our speech and the energy it carries. Every time we speak, we project energy into the world. Why not ensure that this energy is positive? Words possess dynamic power; each of us is a powerful universal force with the ability to create. Therefore, refrain from speaking negativity into existence. Positive people naturally articulate positive thoughts. If we have the power to manifest our realities, let’s use that ability to spread love, kindness, and compassion.
To spread love into the world, we must pause and reflect before we speak, carefully choosing the energy we contribute to the universe. Visualize the potential impacts of our words, just like a video recording. If negative words slip out, rewind and replace them with positivity. It is our responsibility to fill our universe with loving energy; you are the catalyst for this transformation.
Reflection Prompts:
1. What words do you frequently use that may carry negative energy?
2. How do you feel after speaking positively or negatively?
3. Can you recall a time when your words significantly impacted someone else?
Thought Activity:
Create a Word Journal
where you document instances of your speech throughout the week. Reflect on the energy behind your words and how they affected you and others.
Conclusion:
Recognize the power within your words. As you become more aware of the energy you project, strive to cultivate positivity in your communication. Your words can create a ripple effect, influencing not only your life but also the lives of those around you.
Chapter 2: The Farmer's Wisdom
In life, we should embody the principles of a farmer. Farmers live by the Law of Reciprocity; they sow seeds and tend to them daily, even when results are not immediately visible. Each morning, they wake up with purpose, nurturing their crops with care. The farmer understands that even during a bad harvest, the act of working diligently is a reward in itself. Eventually, through consistent effort, they will reap a bountiful harvest.
Consider the miracle of life unfolding all around us.
