Loose Lips Sink Ships (4:37 minutes)
“Loose Lips Sink Ships” was an old expression used during World War II, reminding people that State secrets were to be kept secret. But when I heard my angels change the phrase I was a little surprised. They said, “Loose lips sink spirits.” It didn’t rhyme, but it was meaningful. It meant to me that the human tongue can be the most destructive force in our relationships. You can have a winning smile and money to burn, but if you have a mean tongue, you have no friends and deserve none. We have all said things that we did not mean that were hurtful and caused damage. Sometimes we aren’t even aware of our mistake. We have all been on both sides of that situation. We have been the speaker of evil and the recipient of evil. Dr. Masaru Emoto proved that harsh words spoken to water caused its molecular structure to change. So what happens to a human being — who is 50 to 75 percent water — who is spoken to cruelly? The angels tell me that there is no difference other than the water in Dr. Emoto’s experiments can evaporate or go down a drain and be refreshed by the earth, but the human being who has been hurt by harsh words can sometimes remain broken, especially if the cruel phrases are repeated often enough. It doesn’t take very long for any of us to remember something that was said to us that had long term good or bad effects. I remember vividly a very beautiful memory. I would much rather share those with you than those that have hurt me. Why? Because I believe in fun. So, here is the story. I was sitting in an upscale hotel restaurant eating alone and a man walked by and said, “You don’t know how beautiful you are.” He purposefully disappeared into a herd of men’s suits. I never knew which man had spoken to me since my back was turned. That was maybe 40 years ago and the memory is so clear. I wasn’t a great beauty really, but at that moment I was the happiest and prettiest woman alive. And this is what the angels want us to know. We, as humans, have a powerful weapon or blessing in our tongues. In the case of this businessman, he gave me confidence and joy that I can look back on even today. I bless him and pray he is always happy. If this man had said something negative to me it probably wouldn’t last as long but the effect would be much different. My fragile twenty-something ego would have been shot. The angels want us to understand the enormous responsibility our ability to speak puts on us, and to watch what we say to others because the impact from harsh words or sweet words can last a life time. A kind word with no expectation of payment or even recognition can be divine and can warm a heart many years after it is uttered. I am going to make it a point this week to say something very nice to everyone I meet. It has to be sincere and true and nice. We will see how I do by the end of the week. I hope you join me in this elevating experience! I hope someone tells you that you are beautiful, too! I welcome your comments below and I thank you for spending some time with me.
