Something to Write About

Suppose somebody told you you're ugly, how would you react? Well I know how I would react, I would feel a little pinch inside that would tell me, "Oooch that hurts". But what would happen after?

That is the point of interest for me. A lot of times when people say mean things to us, whether it is true or not, it hurts. And it could stop there, but we often let it linger and go into our subconscious. And although we are not pondering about it consciously, it is there, in the background of our minds, growing from the initial seed that was planted. This is where we begin to bully our own self. We become our own critic and tear down ourselves. The thought could not have gone so far if we didn't believe it was true.

They have a saying in Jamaica, 'belief kills and belief cures'. I don't know if you've ever heard it. But it is so true. What ever you believe your conscious and unconscious mind acts on it, and that in turn informs your actions, behaviours and attitudes.

So watch what gets in people! And if something does get in that hurts, write about it and get it out.
