Someone said something to someone today that I overheard, and it really hit like a ton of bricks:
"Stop being an antagonist all of the time. You are exhausting!"
I thought about that in light of how people use social media, their voice, their time, and their "passion." Often, we think we are fighting for a "cause" or "shining a light" or "whatever you want to call it." But if that is the only voice that we have, how are we being received? What is our message? Can people hear us anymore? Do people dread our words? Is our "reason" lost in our "constructive criticism?"
Take a pause. Find balance. Remember YOU. Don't adjust your WHY but possibly adjust your HOW.
"Remember love. Remember mercy!" -Hillsong
Where I live in Yellow Springs, OH it is Village Wellness Month, and I am challenging myself to be an active part of my own personal healing and the health of others by monitoring my words. This random eavesdrop was a fantastic reminder. My takeaway: DON'T BE EXHAUSTING! #healingtogetherys #yellowspringvwm (Note: This photo is just to make you smile. Come on. It's a baby with a balloon. That has all the feels!) Change your mind. Change your life. #inspire
