Words Need Action to Flourish!


Pauline Respress, BAS, M.Ed.,
As I walk closer to my destiny, I realize that in this life we must align our words with action. If we can speak it-- we must be able to see it and do it. When our words don't align with our action, then they are like beautiful blooms of a flower that blow gently in the wind--they have no direction, they roam aimlessly to a destination unknown.  And for those that hear your words that are not connected to action, they hear your words, but see someone that is just wasting beautiful words. Our words must match our actions to become fluid, to be realized...Even if we   don 't have the means to match our words, we must try our very best to move in the direction of our words. Our words will carry us-- if we can align them with action.

Our tongue has power, it is the collection of all of our thoughts. It flows out of us like a river;  but even a river has boundaries and a direction that it will end up at, it's flow is intricately designed by a culmination of valleys and rocks and dirt that collectively directs it to its final destination.

This is much like our words, our words must be shaped and molded and guided, they must be guided by our thoughts and then flow out of us and rally us into action. Words without action and follow through are simply--- just words.

Words need fuel, they need air, they need direction to truly have meaning. If not we are just speaking and the words lie dormant and never have the chance to create the synergy that happens, when we infuse words with action and follow through. It is a orchestra that works seamlessly together and lets us know that we are fully aware and in charge of our words. It is a great place to be in--  it tells us that if we can speak it, see it and believe it, then we can achieve it!

So this week ladies allow your words to be a blueprint of the direction that you will travel!

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things!

Kind Regards,

Walking On Water

Image
Pauline Respress, M.Ed., We can learn a lot about faith by watching a mere leaf float on water. The leaf calmly floats even though it is surrounded by a vast amount of water. The leaf is not flailing it is accepting where it is and embracing it. This is much how I see faith. I see the spirit as the water and my physical self as the leaf.  My spirit guides me as to where I need to be, but I must trust my spirit to carry me. We become frustrated with our lives when we fight and begin flailing in our spirit. The spirit encamps us, it is our true north, but we must become like the leaf and allow it to guide us. It is a union that we must seek, in order to become one in ourselves. True faith is born out of understanding this union. When we can become silent enough in our heads we can marry the two-- and become stronger in our faith. And then when God leads us to a place, we must activate our faith and dive in--understanding that he will never allow us to sink. We will either floa...

We Must "Be Love" to "Have Love" ....

Image
This journey is teaching me a lot of things, but the most profound lesson that I have learned is that in order to have love in our lives, we must be the love that we want to see. It is easy to be hate, because hate does not require much work, hate does not require-- practicing forgiveness or understanding or compassion; it merely requires finding reasons to not do the work required to get to more love in our lives. Loving at times --can be messy, it requires letting down all of our guards and diving into unknown places --while abandoning all of our fears and reservations. Loving is an action word, it is the rolling up of our sleeves and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough-- to take the punches that sometimes accompanies getting to love. We all come equipped with artificial guards that protect and soothe us--they are the warm blankets that protect us from the world. But sometimes in order to get to more love-we must be willing to lower our guard and share the love...

Paschal's Wager

Image
Paschal's Wager is a suggestion posed by French philosopher writer and mathematician, Blaise Paschal, that clearly rationalizes (for me) our belief in Christ.  Paschal believed that in deciding on accepting religion we must first view it as a wager, betting on the fact that God exist and if he doesn't we lose nothing. If he doesn't we have lived a life that is guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ and we have lived as though we have faith, we have also lived an enriched life that is based primarily on love. Some may argue that this rationalization is far-fetched and that they cannot place all of their belief in something or someone that they can not see and that the teachings are merely dogma that people use to hide behind. But for me --I'd rather hide behind love than not--I'd rather be guided by principles that enrich my life than not. What is the alternative? living a empty shell of a life that anything goes and that is guided by our own insatia...
