I was going to write something today…but I feel the below message is something that someone may need to read. I wrote this in September 2006… I guess my voice has been trying to be interpreted for a while now.
In the dictionary there are many meanings of Word…but one that stands out is "
the Scriptures; the Bible." This definition confirms the fact of how powerful WORDS are because anything that can be referred to such a powerful tool has to be able to cause life changing events.
Contrary to popular belief WORDS are among one of the most destructive forms of offense. WORDS possess the power to heal or destroy, build or demolish, strengthen or hinder; a mind, heart, spirit, and even a soul. The demolition of these things is a long process but once it's started if not stopped immediately it's sort of like the domino affect. It happens so instantaneously that it is often hard to find a breaking point to regain control of your inner being.
Everyone deals with destruction in different ways, but ultimately it has the same outcome. The WORDS tear away at you until nothings left but a huge dark hole in your heart where love once lived; A long cold hall where your mind once soared; a broken hopeless spirit where your faith once laid; and a forgotten lost soul where your mind, heart and spirit once fulfilled.
When this happens it's the hardest thing in the world to recover from. Because you have no idea what your next step should be or even if there should be a next step. You start to doubt everything that you once were so sure about. You lose sight of everything that makes you the unique, loving, and irreplaceable individual that you are. But what you don't realize is to endure any form of pain and still go on is a sign of strength. Strength that the person causing this pain doesn't possess, so you're stronger than you think.
Use this strength to take control of your situation whatever it may be and NEVER loose that control again. In doing this don't give up, because there are GREAT things out there! Don't make everyone else suffer because of one person's wrong doing…but don't forget the lesson that you've learned while going through your trial. Use it to make you a better judge of character and let it aid you when you seem to be heading down the same paths.
DONT BE DISTRACTED BY CRITICISM...
REMEMBER, THE ONLY TASTE OF SUCCESS SOME PEOPLE GET IS WHEN THEY TAKE A BITE OUT OF YOU!!!
Until Next Time
