That words are only felt if an action is applied?
Dakota,
I'm so glad to have this go round of ideas!! You have given me much to consider!
I guess in a way that is what I mean-- There are a few sayings about this: "say what you mean and mean what you say- just don't say it mean" and "actions speak louder than words"
here's some more blathering ...(you asked for it! )
I might have a genuine feeling and choose not to back it up with action...does that make the feeling unreal? Maybe not, but for sure that action is proof of a feeling...unless it's been done to manipulate!! Now I'm confused!! lol
A better way to describe if the words are felt...is maybe to ask myself if I am willing to back up those feeling/words with action.
I was taught that emotions are my tools and I must choose and use them wisely- not allow them to use me. I'm working with two things here- feelings/emotions and thoughts/decisions. Feel a feeling- use it to learn and express what is needed and then act upon that decision. Whew..my thinker is tired!
