We watch the news. We read papers and magazines. We scroll social media and the internet. We watch TV and movies. We have communication at work both social and work related. We take courses. We engage in idle rhetoric with acquaintances and strangers.
We read books to improve ourselves, and read posts like this one. We have meaningful conversations with family and friends both giving and taking advice. Podcasts and videos are sometimes favorite past times also.
All of these words are being digested by our minds. Once we hear, read or even write them they are forever a part of our world.
What do they mean? Will they change us? Do they all have an impact? Will any of it mean anything?
NOTHING, NO, NO,NO!
The only words of consequence are those we repeat in our head. They may have come from our exposure but until we replay them, seemingly in our own voice, and give them attention coupled with emotion they are no more than scenery passing by.
The conversations we have with ourselves are the lessons we learn, directions we turn, and changes we make.
