Our Evolving Language
Healing Past Hurt

by Madisyn Taylor

We can create positive change by choosing not to use these words and phrases as we come across them in our vocabulary.


There are many troubling phrases in our language that we use without considering their full meaning simply because they have been accepted into common knowledge. Even as our ideals progress, our language maintains some phrases from our past that no longer serve us, for example: Boys don't cry; good child; boys will be boys; problem child; illegitimate child; and many more. While these phrases may be used without harmful intent, they are inherently negative. Children can be especially sensitive to such phrases, which may stay with them their whole lives, adversely affecting their self-image and wounding their self-esteem. We can create positive change by choosing not to use these words and phrases as we come across them in our vocabulary.

It is challenging to examine our habits in terms of the words we use to express ourselves, but it is also exciting. Language is an area where we can exercise our free will, creating positive change in the world around us by simply choosing carefully the words we use. It may seem like a small thing, but our words have a rippling effect, like a stone thrown in a pond. People naturally pick up on the way other people speak, consciously or unconsciously changing the way they speak in response. We don't need to actively try to influence people; it happens without our even thinking about it. All we have to do is choose to be more conscious ourselves, putting to rest words and phrases that are outmoded, insensitive, or harmful. We can also exercise our creativity by creating new phrases that carry positive and loving energy to replace the old ones.

You may already have some ideas about phrases you'd like to transition out of your language, and now that you're thinking about it you may come across many more. As you consciously decide not to use these phrases, you may feel lighter and more joyful, knowing that you have chosen to drop baggage that was handed down to you from a less conscious time. As you do so, you elevate the language for future generations who would no doubt thank you if they could.

    Smile and Spread Love
    Cancer Daily Horoscope

    You may feel friendly toward others today, which may be due to your easygoing mood and sense that the world is a warm and welcoming place. It could seem that in your immediate environment there is nothing that threatens you, and you may have a greater sense of trust in yourself and in others. Perhaps today you could use this feeling of warmth and centeredness to spread love to everyone you come across. As you go about your day you can try to give everyone—people you know and strangers—a smile that comes from your heart. You could imagine that from deep within your heart a warm light emanates that expands with each smile you offer. You may notice that this keeps you in an affable mood throughout the day no matter whom or what you may encounter.

    Giving a smile to everyone around us allows us to extend our feelings of love to others. Sometimes when we feel amiable, it is easy to only be kind to the people we know and care about and avoid people that we have neutral or unpleasant feelings toward. But learning the art of the unconditional smile lets us train ourselves to see everyone in the same light. We begin to understand the meaning of true love by not excluding others, which helps us see that within this layer of love we can trust everyone. By being friendly to the all people you meet today, you will be able to express affection unconditionally.

    Create Completeness

    Create Completeness
    As You Believe

    by Madisyn Taylor

    When we affirm that we are fulfilled rather than deficient, we are asserting that contentment is a natural way of being.


    The creative power of the universe is infinite. A single molecule's destiny is as important as the consequences of the largest supernova. Human potential is subject to this power, but because we are sentient beings, each of us is permitted to choose whether we will struggle against it or work in tandem with it. When we give voice to our desires through focused meditation or solicit the help of spirit guides, we draw upon the universe's creative power to achieve certain ends. However, because our words are not all the universe hears, the response we receive may surprise us. The discourse we establish through our appeals is a blend of speech, thought, intention, and subconscious reflection. When we ask the universe for something, the unspoken message is that what we want does not exist, and the universe accepts this as truth. Conversely, we manifest completeness through affirmations in which we declare our desires as if we have already obtained them.

    When we affirm that we are fulfilled instead of articulating deficiencies, we are asserting that contentment is a natural and necessary element of human existence. Our essence is an expression of fulfillment—the universe wants to satisfy our needs and desires. When we describe our realities in positive terms, we are not denying the challenges inherent in existence. We choose not to focus on lack or dissatisfaction because we understand that the energy of our thoughts will determine the response we receive to our entreaties. Ask yourself how you would feel if your wishes were granted, and then allow yourself to internalize that emotional state. Try to create a picture of satisfaction so vivid that its reality is unquestionable and tell the universe that your vision is fact. At the close of your appeal, express your gratitude, as it is your acknowledgment of the truth of your fulfillment that will set the creative power of the universe into motion.

    Working in perfect unison with the creative power of the universe will empower you to manifest spiritual realities in your material existence. As you affirm the beauty, peace, and goodness that already exist within in your life, your capacity to sense and understand their influence will become increasingly sophisticated. To meet your needs and achieve your desires, you need then only banish all thoughts of emptiness so that the energy of completeness can attract fullness into your being.
