Think before you speak..don't be slave of our own words!

Let us start with a simple story. Once an old man spread rumours that his neighbour was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested. Many days later the young man was proven innocent. After being released he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him. In the court of law the old man told the Judge: “They were just comments, didn’t harm anyone.” The judge told the old man: “Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence.”

The very next day, the judge told the old man: “Before receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday.” The old man said: “I can’t do that! The wind spread them and I won’t know where to find them.” The judge then replied: “The same way, simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent that one is not able to fix it. If you can’t speak well of someone, rather don’t say anything.” Moral of the story: Let’s all be masters of our mouths, so that we won’t be slaves of our words.

Don't most of us experience a ‘spur of the moment’ tendencies where we speak something that we wish we hadn’t said. if we don’t choose right thoughts then wrong thoughts come into words and embarrass us. Thoughts are an inner conversation with your own self. You create thousands of thoughts each day. Every thought is the foundation of your words and actions. Every thought influences your destiny.

And every thought influences your feeling. It radiates to your body and creates health. It reaches people and creates relationships. It radiates to the world and creates your environment. Always practise watching your thoughts every morning and after every hour during the day. This shifts your mind from impulsive thinking to an aware way of thinking.

There might be something should not be spoken then it should not be in your thoughts. Do not convert negative thoughts in to sweet positive words. Conversion should be in thoughts, not into words. Shift negative thoughts to positive thoughts and then bring them into words. Keep your mind always clean. Choose only high energy words in your inner and outer conversation about yourself, other people, your situations or the world.

Here again we have a story of a Genie who asked "What’s your wish, my master?”

The Genie was right in-front of him, he had to make one wish. Only one wish.

“May I know what you wish for, master?”, the genie repeated.

“Well, I would like to start my own highly profitable business. Highly profitable. I should be successful. So successful that people from all backgrounds , rich and poor, black and white, old and young, should stand with bowls in their hands, in front of me.”

“You sure that’s your wish, Sir?”

“Yes! Yes!”

“Your wish is my command, Sir”

*Goes to bed, happily*

The next day, the man got up to find a thela of Pani Puri (Gol Gappa) in front of him with a message, this is what you needed Sir! Enjoy your most profitable business and you are the most loved man by the girls and ladies of the town!! Therefore, guys think before you speak!! Cheers!
