Remember the words of your mother.

It all goes back to the mouth-gate. Remember the words of your mother: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." The reason goes deeper than being polite.The tongue is the pen to our hearts. What we speak is programmed on the inside. Consider another proverb: "Out of the issues of your heart, your mouth speaks." Clearly, there is a heart-mouth connection. What we feel and think within actually comes out in the form of our words. What we speak also reflects what is already in our hearts, based upon all the things we have come to believe about ourselves. If we find ourselves speaking judgmental and disparaging things about our circumstances or those around us, we know the condition of our hearts needs to change.The exciting thing is that by letting the past go and writing new positive messages upon the "tablet" of our hearts, what will come out of our mouths-- from that moment on--will change for the good.
