People with unkind, hurt hearts, hurt people. People with happy hearts, make others happy. This does not mean if you are hurting you will hurt people, it just means those who say hurtful things, usually don’t have a healthy, happy, or kind heart to start with.I’m sure some unkind people have spilled their toxic juices on you….AKA their anger, hurt, sadness, bitterness, cruelty, built up emotions. Maybe it’s a friend, family member, co-worker, or a stranger, but the world is filled with people that have damaged/sick hearts and minds, and all they know is how to spit out more of what’s inside them.Think about it… What’s inside a can of soda is what comes out when you shake it up….Soda on the inside equals soda on the outside! It’s the same thing with people, whatever is on the inside comes out…if they are miserable and mean, all those same things will come out of their mouths…hurtful words and actions! So, I say, let your hearts be joyful! CHOOSE to be happy! CHOOSE to be kind! Choose to only let words that enourage, words that will encourage someone, lift someone’s spirits, come out of your mouth.Life is filled with so many sad things, from news stories, to events that happen in our own lives, that our words can speak “life” into other people’s hearts, if we choose. It’s not that you shouldn’t talk to your friends about negative things. Or that sharing your stories can’t inspire/help other people but for today, let’s let everyone that comes across our path, leave happier for speaking to us! If someone is hurting you..remember that they are operating from a sick and damaged heart. They are so filled with awful feelings, that their minds think in sad and rude ways, and they think, and accuse others of thinking the same sick way. Don’t let the mean people in the world infect you with their toxic virus. They’re like an overflowing bathtub, all they have to spill out is more hurtful words. Things have happened that really hurt me in my life. Just the other day someone I trusted did something that was truly awful. A huge betrayal and absolutely disgusting. At certain points in my life I have been the ‘toxic’ person. I was the one spewing negative words and actions all over. I don’t want to be that person again. WE can be the sunshine in someone’s world today! We can make someone’s day with our words. We have the ability to speak goodness into their day and life into their hearts. Choose what you say wisely, let only good things come out. And let your little ears be careful, to only hear what is good. If it’s not, move it to the trash can of your mind, and clear it out! You are too precious to let someone fill you up with hurt. I hope everyone has a wonderful day/week/month. Please be happy and remember that no matter what happens to you in your life you can get through it. You can bounce back. If you don’t have anyone in your corner cheering for you - know that I am!
