The power of the spoken word BE IMPECCABLE
I have asked my greater power to help me write this. I have learned some very hard lessons in this past year and lost the love of my life. I have learned that much of the hurt I have incurred on others and myself is the inability to control my temper and the words that I speak. I have learned that my cynical and sarcastic ways have damaged others far more than I ever realized.
I must think before I speak.
That is my lesson here and now. To speak only through kindness compassion and love. Had I been attentive to the words and the sense to be kind I perhaps may have never lost so greatly. I am fully aware of the consequences of my actions and truly am remorseful.
I found out a hard way here as words that I spoke 20 plus years ago came back to haunt me. Those words are just like the internet, Once they are out there they are there forever and cannot be taken back.
Be impeccable with your word.
Little white lies are not accepable either.
Being totally honest in all things is essential no matter how hard it may be to say the absolute truth.

Takes a big man to make a clean sweep, and don't you forget it. Sometimes anger is a surfeit of energy pushing to get out, to lead us to a different path. Change is always difficult to take, and sometimes, our subconscious finds ways to elicit change. Whatever happened, the outcome is now your brand new ticket to ride. Make sure you catch the best wave and soar as high as you can.
Good Luck,
Hello Steve, I am so sorry for your loss and I know it is hard to lose a loved one, I also lost my Dad in 2017 and I miss him a lot (his wisdom, his sense of humor and his teaching of spelling correct words in Engish. I take my hat for your bravery to admit in the public space and it is not easy, but I believe you have got a second chance. I wish you all the best in your endeavour.
So sorry for your loss Steven. I've learned that I tend to speak too harshly at times to the one I love the most. She had a mild stroke 2 years ago that has effected her mobility and now needs a walker to get around. I've been adjusting to being her care giver, and at times the responsibility can be overwhelming.
I can see it from both sides my friend I know what people are doing and giving up to help me and I wish that was different but it is not and without people to help us we're done. So I commend you with your work God will be on your side always for your effort because as far as I can see you pay it forward every second of the day. I am so sorry to hear about your wife having things happen to loved ones this very difficult as We Know thank you very much for following you I'm going to be looking forward to working with you Steve
Nicely put.
A reminder of striving to do and become a better me for everyone around me.
In confession, I have been acting ugly myself in some ways. It doesn't matter which types relate, we see it as an ugly nature.
Thank you for the reminder,

I understand I have to work on it daily and I have to be very careful and think about what I'm going to say and how I will say it and in what tone
Yes, I agree! Our words can crush or lift, it is up to us and which of our natures we allow!
Some of us learn young, and some older!
Some with gain, and some from loss!
I learned the hard way also.
God Bless and Good Luck!

There is plenty of compassion, kindness, and love to go around here, Steven. No doubt you have already discovered that. It's part of what WA is all about and a big reason everyone is so helpful here.
I, too, am sorry for your loss and even though you didn't learn these lessons until later in life, they are still learned and you are a better man for recognizing the need for change.
It's never too late for an old dog to learn a new trick or two.
We are with you. We all have things in our lives that need to be changed.
God Bless and Keep Moving Forward,
Wayne

Thanks for sharing your story Steven. Now is the time to move forward and up. Sometimes we just have to forget the past and concentrate on the future, no matter how hard that seems to be.

Thank you for sharing such intimate thoughts Steve. It takes a lot of courage to write about oneself's hard experiences.
Hardship can make us grow and strenghten us if we face it with the right attitude.
Take care of yourself my friend.
Greetings and all the best to you.
