Control the tongue and a message to the overwhelmed📝🗣️
A lesson to keep
January 5, 2025
Hello, Dear Reader!
The beginning of 2025 has surged a new hope in everyone (hopefully), and January has begun with a really bitter lesson for a folk like me.
Proverbs 15:1, 4: "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. . . . A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit"
It’s so bizarre how a few words can change the trajectory of anything. And saying those words with a certain spirit also makes a difference. I am learning that words that we speak should be naturally calculated. Not fully natural and saying whatever the hell comes up and not too calculative either, which boils suspicion and doubt.
A balance would be preferred, and I feel hypocritical writing these words. But everyone is a work in progress.
It’s all in the head
Keep these words locked in. Your head is a temple, and you’re the one who chooses what goes in, what goes out, and what it should do with the things that you didn’t have control over. I know sometimes it feels too much to handle. But one comes out stronger from that storm; that is the sole purpose of that perceived storm.
Happy 2025!
