Reflection of you
There is a story about a father and his young son who were walking through the mountains. Suddenly, the son fell, hurting his leg on a rock. He screamed, ‘AAhhhh!’
To his surprise, he heard a voice repeating, ‘AAhhhh!’
This made him even more curious. So, he yelled, ‘Who are you?’ Back came the same answer, ‘Who are you?’
Feeling a bit perturbed by this response, he yelled out, ‘Coward!’ Back came the same reply, ‘Coward!’
He looked at his father and asked: ‘What’s going on?’ His father smiled and said: ‘Son, pay attention.’
Looking across the valley, his father yelled to the mountain, ‘I admire you!’ The voice answered: ‘I admire you!’
Again the man cried out: ‘You are a champion!’ The voice replied, ‘You are a champion!’
The boy was amazed, but he was very confused. So, his father explained…
‘You are only hearing an echo, the sound of our voices bouncing back from the mountains.
However, this really is how life works. It returns to you what you think,
say, and do!
Our lives are a reflection of our thoughts and actions. If you want more love in your world, create more love in your heart. If you want to be treated with kindness, treat others with kindness. If you want more competence on your team, become more competent.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life. Life will give to you, everything you give to it, only it will give you even more in return. Your life is not ever a coincidence. Each moment is a reflection of you!’
The son listened and grew in understanding, and through the following years, he witnessed the truth of these words in his life!
Don’t underestimate the power of words, they possess life and death! Try speaking negatively and see how many people stay with you, however, speak positively and you will influence the world around you.
Remember
Inspire yourself and others will be inspired
Motivate yourself and others will be motivated
Develop yourself and others will start to develop themselves
Be an example first and then the world changes around you
Two scriptures to remember and to keep close to your heart
Proverbs 6:2 AMP You are snared with the words of your lips, you are caught by the speech of your mouth.
Matthew 15:11 NLT It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
