Inside Out

How often do stop and listen to what you say? How often do you stop and listen to how you say things? Many people do not stop talking long enough to really listen to what they say and in what manner with which they say it.


I have found that by listening to others talk I discover many ‘hidden’ issues that are holding people back from growing in their life. Sarcasm directed at others is really frustration and anger within self. Criticism pointed at others is really mirroring your same issues. Complaining about others shows exactly where you are struggling. Do you hate liars? Do lazy people drive you crazy? Do bad drivers make you mad? Is your husband forgetting things?

By focusing attention towards other people, the person voicing the sarcasm, criticism and complaint is hoping that it will draw attention away from them. This way you cannot ‘see’ what they are actually pointing out to you with a Bright Red Flag!

Look in the mirror! Everything you say reflects your inner self. Are you happy? Then, you must spread more love. Are you angry? Then, you probably complain a lot. Each circumstance provides an area for you to grow in your life experience. There is no need for judgment, just change. You can jump at the opportunity and learn or you can continue to suppress that incident and wait for another one to come around. Rest assured, all lessons that you don’t learn the first time will come around again, except they become more challenging to overcome with each occurrence.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“In order to experience more love in your life, you must increase the love & light within you.” tc
