Kind Words Only

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
(Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken)

Two roads diverge and I have choice to make. Take the path where the naysayers, doubters and critics are crowding the pathway with their negativity or take the path less travelled where I am guided through by words of affirmation that outnumber the criticism. Where I learn how to cope with the inevitable. That definitely will make all the difference.

Why do we feel we have the right to criticize and chime in on others’ lives. Why are we always quick to point out what others are doing wrong. Some allow us the privilege to speak into their lives yet most do not.  In the age of social media we need to proceed with caution and hold back our opinions. Opinions that are not useful.

What if we thought of one thing someone is doing well. What if we shared that one thing with that person. I have a feeling that will make all the difference! We need more kind words spoken on our planet.

So today may we be ever so mindful of what comes out of our mouth. Be slow to speak and quick to listen.

Take the road less travelled. Walk confidently. Hold on tight to the safety of your tribe who believe in you, who walk beside you every step of the way. Who will ensure you run past those critics and reach the summit together where you will see life with a clearer perspective. Where, just maybe, kind words will conquer the world!
