Sometimes we think our problem is simply that we "have no filter" or that we speak too quickly. I confess that for a long time, I tried to fix this by biting my tongue, counting to ten, and suppressing what I wanted to say. Yet, I needed to get to the heart of the issue; if the words are deep within, the mouth will speak.
Think of it this way: if you squeeze a lemon, you won't get orange juice; what comes out is what’s inside. In the same way, when life squeezes you through stress, exhaustion, or frustration, what comes out of your mouth is exactly what you have stored in your heart.
Your words are just a thermometer of your internal state. If there is hidden envy, bitterness, or anger, it will eventually come out as sarcasm, gossip, or criticism. To change what you say, you must first allow impeccable thoughts and actions, deep down, to change what you feel. The transformation of your vocabulary doesn't begin with a dictionary; it begins with impeccable surgery. Today, let's ask the Warrior’s Way to examine what truly abounds within us.
Reflect: Be honest with yourself: when you are under pressure, what hidden attitudes or feelings come to light through your words?
Meditate: Today I surrender my heart to the Warrior’s Way without reservation. I will use impeccable thoughts and actions to cleanse it of all bitterness, pride, and resentment. Fill me with the great Spirit so that my mouth can only reflect impeccable words.
