....... Shut The Fu*k Up!
Yesterday I was talking to a couple of friends about things and situations in my life that were going wrong or why certain things seem to never workout. They were very helpful and I realized that a big part of my problem is that I'm constantly at war with myself, but thats another entry. But the breakthrough came later when I got quiet and thought about "what's been the common denominator in every situation where I encountered a problem, turmoil or stress" and when I realized what it was you could've knocked me over with a feather MY MOUTH! I am not one to blame other people for my problems, I take full responsibility for my actions but I was completely oblivious to the root cause of 95% or my problems. I cant change people and a majority of situations that happen to or around me but I can control my reactions or more importantly MY MOUTH! If I don't like something someone says or does to me I can address it in a calm, respectful non-aggressive manner instead of pouring 93 octane gas on it and light it on fire with. I've always understood and preached the "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar" phrase but I've VERY RARELY practiced it and I can assure you I've paid for. I've followed Joyce Meyers teachings for years and she talks about this subject all the time based on her own life experiences not knowing when to "Shut The Fu*k Up". She actually talked about it this morning and I believe subconsciously it was the catalyst for my breakthrough. Now will it be easy for me to "Shut The Fu*k Up" (if you know me you already know the answer), NO, is it impossible, No, will it take time and practice, YES! The rewards, blessings and peace will far out weight the pain of learning to keep my mouth shut. So now that I've put it out there when I start to get out of control feel free to tell me to "SHUT THE FU*K UP"!
I beleive the same thing. Sometimes I dont know when to shut the fu*k up and it just hurts me more than anyone else. Its crazy how you always think you know everything and then all of a sudden you realize, I need to wipe my mouth because all im spitting is sh*t. Good Blog!!

Hey Coley,
I can relate to what you said. I had to learn when to keep my mouth shut too. I remember years ago when I started following Joyce Meyer's teachings. She spoke alot about the tongue and the power of the tongue. It had such an impact on me that today when I hear people say certain things, I think ooh they are cursing themselves or they sound so discouraging that they are not speaking hope at all into their life Read Proverbs 18:21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. You can speak life into your situations. You can speak hope or you can depress yourself by speaking everything that is wrong in your life. Once Joyce Meyers spoke about magnifying your problems. She had a headache, and the more she thought about it the worse it got until her husband told her, that she was impressed by her headache because she kept focusing on it. He told her to stop focusing on it and focus on God and her headache went away. The moral of the story is that when we focus and meditate on our problems we are making them our God, instead of magnifying the problem, magnify the problem solver. Trust me it takes practice. We do have to be careful what we speak into the universe because our words can take life and bless or curse and what you say you can't take it back no matter how many times you say 'I'm sorry'. When its out there, its out there. My advice to you is to speak hope and faith out of your mouth. You may not feel good, but you don't have to follow your feelings, you can change your mind and say I'm not going to get mad, I'm going to trust God to work all things for my good and I'm blessed and highly favored, no weapon formed against me will prosper. What you speak is what you will get. If you speak negativity, negativity will gravitate to you, if you speak positivity, positivity will gravitate to you. Speak life.
