Just a Thought

I am an out-loud thinker. Often times by thoughts and opinions are solidified as I speak to other people. Not that I don't think before I speak. I think about it, but the subject is solidified when I say it. This method can be embarrassing sometimes because once in a while, the thought just popped into my head as I was speaking and I didn't think about the consequences of what I said. Believe me, I think way to much sometimes, but there those rare occasions that I wish I would have thought about it more. As I see the consequence of my words, I realize how much power of influence is in each of us. The more I realize this, the more I want to be a positive power influence for other people.  One of my biggest problems is, I talk about my problems to others. I feel this could be detrimental because it may remind others of negative things in their own lives. I saw this quote on Pinterest and I think it could help me (and other people too) as I try to build others up rather than talk about my issues and concerns with them.

I have also given another idea some thought too thanks to Pinterest. This other quote said, " Have you prayed about it as much as you have talked about it?" The idea came to mind that if I actually did this, my problems wouldn't seem as big, I would sound more educated, and I would feel more at peace. I try my best to talk to Heavenly Father first especially if it is concerning things that could effect other people. For example: I seek council from Heavenly Father about my one of my dearest friends before I talk to my parents and and other friends. Doing this has given me a better understanding and appreciation for him. This also helps me to not be detracted from what is true and real from "what-if's" and personal feelings from others. As I have applied this to other things, life has become so much easier! I am not as stressed about issues and the answer to problems seems to come quicker as I turn to Heavenly Father. I hope that you would try this. It works.
