I heard something today that resonated so hard. “It takes a thousand ‘atta girls’ to erase one ‘you are worthless’.”
We all carry so many wounds from outside sources. Family, past relationships, teachers, literally anyone can leave a ‘you are worthless’ on your heart. And you cannot pretend these don’t hurt you. They do. And they affect you. People who say those words don’t hurt are often the most wounded.
This resonates with every facet of life. Be it training animals or speaking to kids or your significant other. Speak Life. Encourage. Love. Shower with praise. Most of us will never get the ‘atta girls’ we long to, no quite frankly need to hear. But we can dole them out like rain on the desert.
Speak life.
