Impromptu Letters | breathe, Humility, insurmountable odds, living tissue, word of encouragement
“Disheveled and awkward, I am beneath no one. Within this feeling I offer abundant room to move beyond comfortable acceptance. Here I participate to remove all obstacles that keep my path hidden.”
Words do not move mountains. We breathe words into the core of who we are. We all need to take another look, seek another vantage point. Why make or move a mountain when all you really need is to move yourself day by day? That is precisely what we need to do when presented with words of insurmountable odds or great appeal. In the previous letter anxiety rang true as one of the main words that stops us dead in our tracks.
Before we breathe in a single word, move a muscle or flex a finger in a new direction, look at what we are asking for. Consider yourself fortunate you can move freely where many lack such freedom. Secondly, appreciate you will always have reservations, misguided feelings and qualms about moving forward, even in the face of a direct need to do so. Misgivings lack follow through, they hinder our ability to make decisions and to breathe words of wisdom into existence.
Humility tempers misgivings.
Humility appreciates the need to move forward, to move beyond and to exhibit a strength of follow through. Humility appreciates a word of encouragement can come from behind, from anyone at any time. Be willing to act upon it, regardless of the station in life from those who provide it. What words have you dropped that held much water? Who gave them to you? If they were beneath your status, follow them, if they appeal to your status, question their value.
I Participate in My Misgivings.
Words wrap around our every day, they recoil us and ensnare possibility. We poke holes in our words, right through living tissue. The only difference is we don’t see it that way. Imagine a clear white wrapper three to five feet round your body. Now imagine the detraction’s, fear, even hostility we face in excusing ourselves from moving on. So many holes, who could patch up such acrimonious retreats? The fact of the matter is we do this with our energy day in and day out when we fail to utilize positive reinforcement.
Who we listen to is equally important to why.
Our words become living tissue as we breathe them in, both positive and negative. We become what we choose to believe. Choose carefully. Every word, every breathe gives hope, indifference, pain or pleasure depending upon what and whom we bring forward to believe in.
Tell yourself “my words make a living difference” more often than you do and you may just find other words are less likely to find their way into your vocabulary. Be kind to yourself, expectation may not always come from the source of your soul, its vocabulary is very recognizable. It starts to whisper, some feel it, others sense it most pay it heed when all else fails them. Why wait for other senses to make first contact? Why not breathe in words of gratitude, belief, ability and others more meaningful in the wake of all other media that suggest otherwise?
Lace your words with positive outcomes.
If you feel better in someone’s presence they have intimate knowledge and practice breathing words in as living tissue. Every word is a membrane. That tissue is the “X” factor many of us miss during our day. Its healing influence speaks volumes to how we feel about ourselves and the words we repeat. Words either temper us in love or scatter our dreams, everything else is “filler or idol chatter.”
Sit still once in a while and let go of anxious words, let them drift off you like water to a duck. Feel your words instead of repeating them over and over. Create the tissue you asked for.
