Language of the People...

On a different note,

Have you ever stopped to acknowledge the impact and necessity of communication within our day to day lives? How would a marriage work without it? How could friends stay close without it? How could we fulfill the requirements of our jobs without it? In this world of social media and technology, can we even fathom now a life without it? Direction comes from communication... and that comes from the physical & spiritual aspect of our lives. This could explain the impact of music, art, and expression in this world we live... Communication can be verbal, non-verbal and typically evokes some sort of emotion.
We listen to a Love song, and feel melancholy... We seen a vibrant abstract painting, and our mind begins to translate... we see a breath taking sunset, and we feel euphoric, and so on. The power of communication is one often left as a known instead of taken into consideration as a tool, a weapon, or a bridge for our personal usage. We Must choose to be communicative and How we will use it to accomplish our missions. Thinking about bullying, it is a form of communication which tears down the people around us. For various reasons, some people feel the need to communicate hate, judgement, and persecution, versus love, Grace and Inspiration. I believe it to be something we must be conscious of and take to heart, and even refine as we grow.
We are Not born great communicators... we must learn to talk, to learn a language of the people around us, and then how to express our own individuality. Never mind the listening & receiving side of it, as we all know the challenges we face in that area. But even in just being able to project our thoughts, ideas, sentiments, or even our needs,  wants and desires is not always quite so simple. Not sold on this? How many relationships end because two people aren't able to communicate their needs? How marriages fail because of a non-reciprocated dialogue? A lack of or inability to communicate will have vast affects on our world. Look at the new generations, who are tied to cell phones & texting, yet have no social skills or face to face communication abilities... think that might have an affect in their life?
So, if we must grow in this area or at least put effort forth, maybe we can start in the areas we Are comfortable in... Like art, music, faith, etc... They say "Speak in the language of the people"... So, who ever is important in your life, find out how they share information. Put some focus and effort towards the people who matter in your life... For me, my relationships are built of my emulation of a Godly relationship. Which is rooted in Love, Grace, Forgiveness, Mercy, trust, Respect, Inspiration, Adoration. Short Term memory, and so on... Imagine the world by those standards!?! Words can built up or tear down... they can encourage or hurt those receiving them... You have the choice, ability & opportunity to prosper your life through refining your communication skills! Me, I write, I sing, and I choose to be expressive with my words... What will your platform be?

Good day & God Bless,
Chris
