Dear Blossom Sister,
You may have heard of the saying "you are going to eat those words". Well if you look deep into it, there is some truth to it. This is because what you say to yourself and what others say to you becomes your reality. Words like "you look beautiful today" or "you are such an amazing person" are to compliment and encourage you but here's what happens next. Those words go in through your ears, and then down into your soul and they make you feel so happy within. Now imagine the words spoken were negative. Did you know that the process is still the same however those negative words come back at you to fight you. Sometimes you can almost hear it so clearly as though they were two roommates in your head fighting against each other.
Now here's the interesting part. Everyone of us has the power to CHOOSE freely. This basically means you always have a choice and because the tongue is the smallest yet mightiest part of the body, you can choose what words you allow pass through to your soul. And so the next time someone says "you are stupid" remember you have the power to reverse those words right away by saying to yourself " I am smart".
You do not have to allow other people's words determine if you live or die, or how much food you eat, or when to be happy or sad. Note that this same people who speak negative words into your life, also have a choice so why give them the free will to choose for you. If you have friends who often speak negative into your life the first step that you must take, is to draw their attention to it then you are to disregard any negative words spoken because you have the choice to do so. If after drawing their attention to it you see no changes then you have a right to move away from them. Again it's your choice to decide if you need such friends around you.
Whatever your choice is do always remember you are worth it.
Now try writing this out on a sticky note pad.
NOTE TO SELF: I (insert your name) have the free will to accept positive words into my life and to discard negative words spoken to me. It's your choice to choose so choose wisely.
Love
Layo Remy Olowu.
