EP 87 - HOW OUR WORDS CAN HARM THOSE WE LOVE
These are just some of the ways in which our own words can hurt/harm those we love, if we
don’t choose with care what we say about them.
When we complain or talk negatively to anyone about our family or friends, we are downright
hurting them, their image, and their reputation at the very least.
When we say
someone is bossy, messy, lazy, a bad mom or dad, a bad husband or wife (in whatever
way), etc., we hurt them. I’m not
talking about having a serious discussion about a family member who may be in
need of help, I’m talking about just plain gossiping about things about them
you find they do “wrong”.
Here is how
we may be hurting them:
1. We may cause
the perceived “problem” to grow or manifest,
and to spread… law of attraction.
2. We may cause
others to have a negative opinion
about them that may be hard to reverse once we say it
3. We may cause
them to lose opportunities, who’d want to hire them after what you said about
them?
4. We may cause
them to lose the affection of loved
ones… how do YOU treat those you have a negative opinion of?
5. We may cause
them to be possibly hated by HURTLOVED ones… like saying bad things to a child
about a parent, grandparent or other beloved relative for example.
6. They will feel our negativity, and that
of others to whom we have said bad things about them.
7. Negativity
will spread to others, so we need to stop talking negatively about them, if we
love them enough.
8. Lastly, instead
why not spread ALL and ONLY the good you SEE and KNOW in them… and THINK of it
as well.
If you speak
ill of your family (children, husband, siblings, in-laws, etc), to others, they
will too … what else did you expect would happen? This is a tough realization
to contend with, it was for me when I thought about it!!
If you truly need
to discuss something about a loved one you’re having a hard time with, HIRE professional
to help you... Like a life coach or a
therapist. Someone who is neutral and who will not tell everyone what you’re
telling them.
Let’s do our
best to see the good in others (especially loved ones), the way we wish they
would see us.
Let’s turn over
a new leaf, starting today!!
And by no
means am I suggesting we go around hitting people over the head overly bragging
either… use positive moderation, no one likes a constant over bragger!
P.S. Also, WE
do not come out looking good when we speak negatively about our loved ones. Talking
about a problem is one thing, but bad-mouthing various people regularly is a completely
different thing all together. That’s a reflection of us, not them.

relationship and you don’t feel safe,
