Worlds – Words & Vice Versa

It’s been drivin’ me crazy. I’ve been subconsciously telling myself to pay attention. And I wasn’t listening. For the past six weeks, anytime I wrote the word “word”, I added an “L”. Yep, you got it. All my “words” became “worlds” (and it continues as I type this entry). Of course, I would laugh at the irony until it became obnoxious and was having to delete the extra letter. A few times I skimmed over it completely seeing “word” instead of “world.” When you think about it, our “words” express our feelings, communicate beliefs and puts forth for all to view our individual “world.”

“There is no separation between our words and perceived worlds for we communicate what we believe to be our truth.” –Cindy Kochis

To be honest, I had another subject outlined for today’s blog entry, however as I typed the title “Power of Worlds” the sign was unbearably clear. The metaphoric 2 x4 got me again. So let’s see if I can mesh the two subjects together and form something that’ll make a little sense. Now that I’m somewhere near the middle, let me begin my original idea.

What if I were to tell you your main purpose in life is to be happy. Would you do all you could to seek happiness or wait till you were in a better mood? What if I were to tell you your purpose in life is to be a farmer and raise Angus beef and grow strawberries. Would you quit your job, move out to the country, plant strawberries by the hundreds and build a barn for your cattle? Sound ridiculous? We ask others, without realizing it, “what do you think I should do?” instead of looking inward and asking Self for the answer. Oh, I’ll admit I was just as guilty as the next person because I didn’t want to take the responsibility for my own happiness. It is, after all, easier to blame others for bad advice when things don’t work out the way we’d hoped.

Digging and searching for inspiration, wise words to live by and find the reasoning behind why do we seek the answers outside of ourselves when we already intuitively know them? A common phrase I came across often was, “what do ‘I’ believe?” Whoa - that puts a new spin on the old way of thinking.

It is “I” that defines YOU. Think about it, that simple one-letter word is the most powerful word in the English dictionary. It is Self – as the individual. When you place the singular letter word in a sentence you are distinguishing your world from others.

“I am beautiful.” “I look like crap today.”

“I am able to pay all my bills this month.” “I have no money.”

“I’m going to climb to the top of the mountain.” “I have no ambition.”

“I love my life.” “I hate what he did to me.”
