Daily Question, November 1

How can I have my whole heart behind the words I speak?

  • kimthompsen

    This was a tough question for me to understand at first. But as I read through everyone’s responses, it became clear (to me at least) that it boils down to: how can I be true to my word? And on a deeper level: how do my actions reflect my values?

    Often, I am “accused” (lol) of not speaking a lot or of having long pauses between words. I never really considered that this was my way of having integrity in my words until today. And I am grateful for this new awakening.

      Wow – congratulations, kimthompsen. I need to learn to do the same –

    I’m trying to learn to pause, think before I speak. Sometimes I have a tendency to blurt out words without thinking about how they are being interpreted or heard by the people with whom they are being directed or their reactions. My continued meditation and reflection of my thoughts and believes help me develop a whole heart to love myself and others and stop the impulsive speaking.

    It certainly helps when I listen intently & allow for silence. My heart has plenty of time to generate & send the love to my brain and then the delivery. So, it’s a process that I need to pay attention to and nurture.

    I can have my whole heart behind the words I speak when I am honest and speak the truth.

  • EJP

    Speak only words of truth, love and faith always.

    Slow down. Try to live in line with my values.

    By speaking with love, truth and gratitude. This morning I have shared words with my business and community group that I run, they were words of support ahead of our national lockdown to be implemented next week and were full of love, truth and gratitude in order to offer positivity in these hard times.

    By living, acting, speaking from my heart.

    To me integrity is a vocation. I have always been drawn to it as a means of establishing and maintaining inner peace. Not to say it is easy, as much as it is something I am attracted and drawn to. It allows for calm and mostly stress free. Much easier to know where I am and how I got there. This is not to say that I am immune from self deception. My heart can color my perception. Yet even when I am in need of correction I find the truth a relief and refuge from confusion. In this way, I can say ...
