A motto has been developing in my mind lately. It goes right along with some of the life lessons I have explored in my writing here on this blog and in my book The Difference Maker, that phrase is:
Speak Life. Live Truth. Love Well.
Over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to break down what those components mean to me, and what I believe they can mean to you.
Speak life. I believe there is power in words and we can harness that power through the things we say to people to either speak light and life and joy into their lives, or to speak darkness and defeat. How can we speak life? What kinds of words do we use? What if criticism is necessary? Does the hearer have any responsibility? Do we need to shield ourselves from the damaging effects of words? We will answer those questions and more as we dig into this topic next week.
Live truth. It's one thing to know what's right and valuable, it's another thing to live it. How do we identify the right choices and the right path for our lives? And then once we do, how do we ensure we stay on that path even when times get tough? Are we walking the path of the truth we speak? We'll look into issues like hypocrisy, cause-and-effect, and our higher calling in two weeks.
Love well. Family and friends are a gift. Reciprocated love is vital to successful a joyful living. What does it mean to love well? What is true sacrificial love? Is it possible to love another human being unconditionally? Are we to "love" people from all categories of our relationships? How can we love the unlovable? This is a big topic and will wrap up our series in three weeks with this one.
I hope you'll stick around for this series starting next week. Don't miss out on new giveaways with each post. And why wait? Here's the first:
