“I wish I had said something.”
“If I had only…”
“Why didn’t I…”
Many times in life you don’t get a second chance. And, if by some miracle you do, it usually comes too late, your words ring hollow and have less or no impact.
Words have power. Power to heal. Power to divide. Power to conquer.
Unspoken words lead to regret.
We’ve all been there. We tell ourselves we should say something. We may even know what we intend to say; but instead, we turn away, saying nothing…and later, regret that decision.
What is so “wrong” with us that we can’t provide a bit of empathy or sympathy to one another? Why is it so difficult to say “I care”, “I love you”, “I’m here for you”, or even “I hurt” or “I need” to those closest to us?
“Something” has gotta change.
“Someone” has gotta change.
Hey! Wake up! Pay attention!!
“Someone” = “YOU”!!
YOU GOTTA CHANGE!
I have no idea how this is going to work for you. It’s going to be challenging enough to figure it out for me! That’s what’s so insanely crazy about this – each one of you has to find the solution that “fits” you.
We are all unique individuals, with different God-given talents and skills. Use them. Lean into them. Allow your skills and talents to direct your “change”. Develop them. Exercise them. Maybe you’ll discover a new set of skills. Maybe you won’t. Be open to new ideas and adventures. Be inspired by the world which surrounds you. Be vulnerable. Be open and honest. Be truthful.
Embrace the change in you! Share the change in you!
The more ya give of yourself, the more ya get from others. The more you change!
It’s true. Trust me.
Better yet, trust God.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” – Proverbs 3:5
