Is your word enough?

"His word is enough"

What does that mean to you when you read that? Literally, it may sound overly brief, but the meaning of this phrase gives feelings to people that would inspire them to move mountains.

Ask yourself this question, are/were there people in your life that make you feel like their words are enough? When they tell you that they will do something, you believe them without a doubt? Or, when they tell you "yes" or "No", that they mean it?

Shouldn't "his word be enough" for your father? Isn't that something that would be amazing to be able to say about your pops? That you have such a great relationship with your father, that all he needs to give you, is nothing more than his words? "It's going to be OK. I Promise. I love you. You are amazing. I am here for you."

Or how about your best friend? Do you think that is why you have the friends that you have? Because there is a mutual understanding that what they tell you and what you tell them is believed, trusted, accepted without conditions? You do not have to doubt what they tell you, or that they are just "feeding you words".

What an amazing concept. Now, I myself am not at this point with all of my friends, yet... As humans, we are the only organisms that can do more/less than we are capable of. Geese fly south, bears hibernate, roosters crow, and dogs bark. What are we meant to do? Strive.

We have the ability to overcome, rewrite, unwind and rewind whatever we do not like in our lives. So Strive. Strive to make sure that your "Word is enough" with those that you choose to share your life with.

This includes everyone that you share your time with. Even if you do not like the person, you must make sure. For yourself, your friends, your loved ones, and your family, that your are not lazy with your words. Use your words lightly, and they will be taken lightly. Use your words carefully, and they will be cherished.

Strive to make your words enough for everyone that you speak to. And watch how your life improves.

Have a great day!

All the best,

JC
