We have reached Day 6 and I want to be 100% transparent with you: taming the tongue with our own strength is absolutely possible. Although I have tried making promises like "I will never get angry again" or "I will never complain again," I often end up failing. Why?
Because I didn’t use the correct tools in my warrior’s toolbox. I just tried. This is why I love the honesty of being impeccable and the Warrior’s Way. Use your Will to direct Intent and truly focus. If you are impeccable in your ACTIONS regarding speaking, not just your thoughts, you will succeed.
Recognizing our weakness is not a failure; it is the place where Intent and the Spirit begins to operate. We need the Spirit to be that "guard" at the door of our lips when we are stressed at work, when we argue at home, or when we are tempted to judge. The victory over an uncontrolled tongue is always won first with focused Intent and living the Warrior’s Way.
Reflect: In what areas of your life (work, family, traffic, social media) do you desperately need the great Spirit to put "a guard" over your mouth today?
Meditate: I acknowledge that I can tame my tongue on my own. Set a guard with focused Intent and awareness, great Spirit, over my mouth, and keep watch over the door of my lips today and always.
Warrior of Lite
