I have a friend who spent several years in prison. When he was released he made a comment to me that everyone he seen after his release was a lot happier. What he came to realise was that he was the one who was happier. Because he was happier he spread this where ever he went. You see he had made some decisions for his life and these decisions were not based on his circumstances but on what was important to him. So when something went wrong it did not alter his happiness. His focus was on where his life was going and not on what went wrong. He would count his blessings and name them.
What we speak with our tongue needs to be guarded.
So when we lift others up we also do the same for ourselves. People who achieve in their lives are always aware to do this. Encourage another and build a friendship. You have someone who then has your interest at heart. They want you to prosper. Working together brings an added strength we would not other wise have. It is like a rope with 2 strands or 3 strands – the more the stronger – the more load it will carry – the less the load is on each strand. Building positive relationships is a wonderful way to live. For example - it is better to have a friend than a title. A title is a function – a friendship is life. Life is best fulfilled when you learn to give away. What is your message? Is your tongue speaking things that are wise – do you use your tongue to build people up? What you speak out you will receive in return. Voice out negative words and that is what will have most effect on your life. Speak positive truthful words towards others and be amazed at the return you will receive.
