Speak for a Change

Words are the least effective part of communication,

But the most powerful part of creation.

Speak Life; Create Life; and Live Life.

                                                      Alism

For as long as I can remember, I have loved words.  To the point that during my teenage years, my older sister and I frequently participated in “word competitions” by saying, spelling, and defining words that the other individual didn’t know.  It became a game we took great joy in playing often.  Interestingly, Our Creator knew the Purpose for which both of us were fashioned; and therefore, even the “word competitions” have served a higher purpose. 

        Unfortunately during my early seasons of immaturity, I began to realize my “gift of gab” could get me out of and into all kinds of situations, most of which were self-serving at the time.  There were times that the words I spoke created an environment that seemed like hell.  However, as my love affair with words became the passion behind my purpose, the power of my Gift and the increased level of spiritual maturity called me into accountability–to pay careful attention to my word choices, sentence structures, and the images I was painting with the words I spoke.  Since this is a proven principle that promises a reward–bad or good–I became actively aware of just how powerful words are in creating the life I and others experienced.  

        Therefore, as my ears became more sensitive to the importance of the words I spoke and as I started reframing the life I desired to live, it became more and more apparent to me just how unknowledgeable others are to the creative power their own words contain.  Although they may desire to experience something different, their self-fulfilled prophecies continue to be commercials of upcoming attractions–more of the same damned stuff, i.e., defeat, destruction, debt, destitution, and the like.  Additionally, as a Coach and Trainer, one of the most deplorable things for me are the times when I attempt to encourage an individual to speak for a change, but they choose to remain verbally challenged to say anything different.  Consequently, they will not see (experience) anything different.            

        Therefore, if you are one of the ones that have been eating the distasteful fruit of your own verbal expressions, I encourage you to begin speaking for a change.  Please don’t misunderstand me; I am not telling you to ignore the visible.  However, it is important to stop bringing attention to those things you desire to change.  I can attest that although the full expression of my words has yet to be achieved, the journey and process of creating it and therefore living through that process has become much more bearable. In conclusion, if what’s visible is not what you desire to continue experiencing, envision a different picture.  Once you envision the change you desire, Speak it; to Create it; and then Live it!  Remember, words are containers.  Fill your container with life and eventually, with commitment and diligence, you will see and live (experience) the change your words created!

Aim High…
