Sticks and Stones

Today watch your words. Our words are powerful things indeed. They
have the ability to either hurt or heal others. When we feel at peace
within our own selves, we don’t need to pull others down, only lift them
up. It’s vital in our spiritual development to recognize that sticks and
stones may break others physically but words can do far more harm
emotionally. Today, if you feel yourself about to lash out with negative
words, stop yourself and remember what Thumper said to the skunk
in the movie Bambi, “If you don’t have something nice to say then
don’t say anything at all.”
