One of our most precious abilities is that of communicating with others. But we only communicate when we are able to receive and transmit a message. Although it may seem easy and simple to do it, we know that a great deal of suffering comes from misunderstandings.
Sometimes we choose words that hurt others. Sometimes we feel hurt by words from others. Sometimes we react to words, and hurt ourselves and others. Sometimes we create narratives to explain our experiences that exclude or hurt others.
If we are aware of our power with words, and if we make the decision to create harmony with our words, we will begin to create a better world for ourselves and for the ones we share this life with.
If we commit to pay attention to the words we say, we will be able to transform our life-experience, since we will willfully choose to interact with others in a conscious way. If we do so, we can choose weather to initiate a conflict or to inhibit its development.
I understand Gandhi's non-violence principle as a permanent commitment to choose words that define our reality as an integrated and peaceful one.
Be the change you want to see in the world! Choose words that inspire others to reach their fullest potential. Listen to the messages others intend to send to you and use your intelligence and creativity to build a better world through the narratives you create to make sense of your own reality.
