You have something to share with the world that no one else can: your personal insight.

The thoughts that come to your mind are not simply for you, but can also be a blessing to others if you choose to share them. This is true for everyone, whether they identify as a “good speaker” or not. If you’re on Earth, your input is vital to others!

Thoughts are also the first method of creation, and when shared through speaking or writing, can plant a seed in another person. Those seeds have the potential to sprout into the next 2 methods of creation: words and actions. Minds, and therefore lives, can be dramatically changed by a single word or sentence. Be brave and honor yourself and others by sharing your words! That is co-creation at the most basic level: sharing of yourself to achieve an even better outcome.

Here’s an example from our lives that served as the inspiration for this blog post. A topic that comes up with frequency in our lives is the symbolic nature of video and computer games. Although we have both played our share of games, Sean is decidedly more interested and seems to have more insights about them. One day he mentioned something offhandedly that helped me gain a wider perspective about gamers. He wasn’t trying to enlighten me; he was just speaking his mind. He said, “I bet some people who play video games a lot get re-minded of the feeling – the knowing – that they have lived countless times before… at least subconsciously.” That was exactly what I needed to hear at the time, and considering it now helps me keep a better attitude about the gaming habits of kids. Had he kept that thought to himself, I might still be feeling negative about it and continuing to search for an insight to bring me understanding.

This form of surprise revelation has been happening to us a lot. A thought can sometimes feel like a trifling little thing, but it may be a Word of Knowledge for someone else. It doesn’t have to be a polished inspirational saying; just let it come from the heart.

No matter the setting or the crowd, you have something unique to give. Ignore your ego when it tries to downplay the importance of your words. Your input is vital!

The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings. -Buddha
