The Power of Speech

Think back to an instance where you decided to keep your mouth shut, even though you knew you had something valid to say. It may not have been an explosive event that had the power to make or break your life, it could simply have been an ordeal that could have made YOUR moment(which is just as important, because the  individual moments that we have are what come together to create life, like building blocks) How did it make you feel? Did you have  nagging, recurring thoughts of "I should have said something," although that thought is annoying, because the time to act had already come and gone? In order to avoid pondering over situations like the one I just described, you'd better start speaking up and employing the Power of Speech.

I happen to like definition #4 because it relates to speech in the term of it being a power and, in my opinion, is the most concrete definition. Everything that involves you as a person matters, and you are the only ONE who can and will represent YOUR, thoughts, feelings, and emotions with total accuracy. No one has the right, ability, or power to speak for YOU. It is left up to us to make sure that we use the Power of Speech effectively in order to be heard and understood by one another.

The Power of Truth

Any time that I have found my way into a tough situation, the types of experiences that involve interactions that make your stomach turn and twist with anguish, down in the pit. They don't even have to be physical interactions, verbal exchanges are what get people amped, or charged, because words have the power to trigger the chemical impulses that conjure emotions.  Anyway, when I'm confronted with these agonizingly bearable circumstances, I can always think back to the moments prior to the uncomfortable event taking place. There's always the opportunity to be more real, more honest, the Truth.

Although living in truth is the option that consistently yields the best results, there are times when living an untruth seems to be more appealing or( a better fitting A-word) appropriate.  For a (normally not so brief) nonsensical moment, being disingenuous to one's self is the easiest , yet most harmful, self-inflicted cop-out that can be done. The truth is always benevolently bearing love on all things that are conceived in it, that's what makes truth so powerful.

Truth is defined as sincerity in action, character, and utterance(www. merriam-webster.com/dictionary/truth). Which means that everything that is thought, said, or done should be in honesty and sincerity or else, it's NOT THE TRUTH! Have you gained the courage to express and live The Power of Truth ?

The Power of Completion

Now this is a topic that I can be excruciatingly critical of myself when discussing because I have a tendency toward being neglectful in ways that I know I don't have to. I am guilty of boring easily(not when it comes to people though, if we happen to connect on a few levels), and I must admit that most of  the mundane, recycled issues that seem to rule the small,  media driven world around me, don't ever keep my attention. I can tend to get really into myself, delving deep, reading books that enrich my mind, enlighten my soul, and intrigue my curiosity i.e The Law of Attraction by Ester and Jerry Hicks, The Book of Aquarius, You by Frances Wilshire, The Power of Now and A New Earth by Ekhart Tolle, Tao Te Ching, A Beginners Guide to Creating Reality by Ramtha, and The Force by Stuart Wilde, to name a few.  Although I have no problem with finishing books, seeing larger, personal projects ( like creating a sound business plan or focusing on creating new money sources of my own)throughout and into completion is a completely different story.

Many people(including myself)have had ideas, plans, and goals  that were accompanied by a commitment (made to one's self) that the self proposed task would be sought out to completion. But when an undertaking is self imposed, it's easier to slack off with "I'll do it later," which could turn into never, because the best time to act is always now(the present). These are the types of causes that call for The Power of Completion.  

Completion is the act of finishing. This is a very powerful action because only completion will present the opportunity to begin something new. Have you been seeing everything you set your mind to, throughout, and  into completion? Will you start today?
