conversation

Conversation is such a... diverse means of communication.  I mean there is non-verbal communication, body language, writing notes, letters, texting, emails and the list goes on... and then there is, well: communication; talking to someone, giving a speech, greetings, salutations and.. more. Conversation is so interesting though, because there are so many different dynamics... like having a good 'ol chat about loving life vs. gossiping and speaking positive things and happy things vs. speaking negativity into the world.

I have been to several seminars recently and in each of them the speakers have talked about the importance of planting positive seeds for our future with our words.  Each of our words is a seed planted into our future. As we walk past what we just said it is being fertilized in the ground and growing into either a beautiful flower or a scrawny weed. Everything we chose to say and do today effects us today and in our future.

Something I was thinking about at work the other day was the power of conversation.  In different settings different types of conversation happen... and I really started to notice that gossip and negativity are popular topics. For some reason people willingly talk gossip in a conversation, but will rarely have a deep conversation that opens doors to new understanding.  A conversation filled with gossip is a conversation that plants bad seeds in your life and in others lives.  Why plant bad seeds?

A conversation without gossip and negativity reaches a much deeper level.  Philosophical conundrums can be discussed, the meaning of life, what really is a word? All types of deep things can be discussed when we let go of ego, negativity, and gossip, but all of these things MUST be let go in order for this type of conversation to occur. As soon as gossip enters a conversation it completely taints the purpose of the conversation and the direction it is going in.

I never realized it before.. but it's completely true.  If you leave out the gossip, things change... our words evolve, our story grows... we grow and develop. But when we sit in a mind space filled with negative thoughts, negative words, and gossip, then we are not able to reach that level... because gossip and negativity are superficial topics that we use to stay on the surface, instead of facing our deeper thoughts.  We live in fear.. and when we are in a state of fear, it is nearly impossible to keep the negativity out of our mouths... positivity and negativity can not live in the same body... fear and faith can not live in the same home.

erase negativity from your mind and mouth... only let words of beauty and love escape your lips.
