Worst Words Known To Man

I have been sharing a word with you each month that I thought could add value to your life. It occurred to me that there are also a few words that I wish people had never learned. So let me share a few of those with you today. The first word is CONVENIENT. It means easy to reach and suited to one's comfort or need. First of all anything that is easy to reach or obtain is usually not worth anything. Second if you notice it is related to the word COMFORT or COMFORTABLE. Personally I think that the words CONVENIENT and COMFORTABLE are two that are hurting Americans the most right now. If you want to know what I mean then read my post called "Entitlement Attitude." The next word is the word CAN'T. As I said in July's word of the Month post. This often is just a cover for other truths. The truth may be that we are embarrassed that we don't know how to do something. The truth may be that we are scared to try something new because we might look stupid. There are all kids of reasons why we say, ' I CAN'T." But more often than not, none of them are because we truly can not do something.. All that word does is hold us back from achieving our dreams!

Edification

           There are two things people need to know to feel like their life is worthwhile. They need to know that what they do matters and that they are loved. They will only know this for certain if you tell them. There are a few people who have high self confidence that need very little reinforcement and who are self motivated. Even those however, would achieve greater things faster, if someone told them how good of a job they were doing. Your love and praise also endures people to you. They will love, support, and edify you as well.
          This blog is a great example. Of course writing it is helping me maintain a positive thought process. Mostly however, I do it to get followers. I want followers so I can pass that thought process onto them. I also want them because I crave edification. I want people to tell me I helped them. I want people to be proud of me for insightful remarks. I say this without guilt because everyone wants to know that what they do matters!
          If a random stranger finds my blog through google and follows it, I get a sense of accomplishment. If they make a nice comment, it fills me with pride and excitement. If my mother follows my blog I feel humble and satisfied. I feel inspired in all areas of my life by or because of that edification. I want to take on harder and bigger challenges. So if you are proud of someone be sure to tell them. It can mean the world to them! If you love someone, say it! That simple statement can empower someone to achieve amazing things!
