Consideration

 Consideration: careful thought, typically over a period of time.

I think the key words here are careful thought.

How many of us take the time to think about what we are going to say before we say it? I bet if each of us would consider our words first the world might just be a better place.

• What if we considered other people's feelings?
• What if we took the time to think about what it might mean to someone else if we were more considerate?
• What if we were kinder and more compassionate about people and their circumstances or lifestyle?

Life could be so much easier and much more joyful if people thought before they spoke on so many levels.

We as humans would feel better too. A person cannot feel good about themselves or their lives when they are belittling or criticizing everyone and everything. There is just no way that it can feel good to be constantly using negative words and thoughts towards others.

I would challenge everyone to make your words count for something kind, considerate, and pleasant.

Positive Conversation

Words are just thoughts spoken out loud. If we are using our conversations as a way to feel good we have to make sure they are upbeat and positive.

We all have the need to vent at times and this does help us to feel better even though the venting is probably not the best conversation we could have. It does make a difference however if we are repeating it over and over to others. One time to vent is one thing repeating is another.

• What if we decided to keep our conversations as positive as we could?
• What if we found the most upbeat way to talk about a situation?

We are in control of how we think and feel about every subject there is to talk about. If we look for the best way to look at things then when we talk about them we are seeing the positive instead of the negative.

Speaking in a negative way fuels anger and unhappiness. Is this what we want for ourselves or can we turn that around by checking ourselves before we start to talk so that negativity doesn't become the habit.

• What if we ask ourselves is this a negative thought that doesn't need to be brought up?
• What if we challenge ourselves to do better when it comes to communicating in a positive way?

We are in charge of what we say so let's be mindful of how much we complain, how much we find fault, how much we tear down everything and everyone around us.

• What if we thought of how to be kinder, more compassionate, and more caring?
• What if we changed a cynical attitude for a more upbeat and positive one?

These are all possible if we put the effort into it. Imagine if you will if all of us started thinking and talking in a more upbeat and positive way. We could actually change things.
