Speak to People!

Jennifred Jones

We must break the self-imposed silent cycle of disacknowledging one another.

This is what I mean.

Today at the gas pump, a young guy on the other side of the pump was throwing something in the trash and I caught his eye and said to him, “It feels warmer today.” He laughed and said, “Yes, if the wind dies down it will be almost balmy!” It was 38*. We wished each other a good day and felt better.

As I walk by someone in the parking lot or inside an aisle at the store, I’ll frequently comment about the weather, the store, their outfit – anything to bring the other person out and be recognized.

We were not made to be hermits in our individual igloos only seeing us and ours. The world has been silenced, and we need to break it! People are starving for communication and just to be seen! Don’t let them down.

Your voice or even your wave can lift another person who is having a bad day. You, me, be the ones to lift and bring hope to the people we see.

Be Strong!

Jennifred Jones

Sometimes I wonder if we allow others to overpower us because we are/were weak.

Because we’re too weak to stand up for ourselves to say what we think, to do what we need. Then when things don’t go as we hoped or wanted, we blame others

Do we request laws in an attempt to ‘force’ others to treat us a certain way…not to ‘talk to us this way’ …when we didn’t need another law; we only need to take responsibility and talk it out?

Why are we so afraid of human interaction? Why are we so fearful of conflict and being disliked?

Let’s choose to be strong, not giving our personal power over to another, but facing ourselves, facing others and learning to be the authority of our own life.

To Teach

Jennifred Jones
  • To teach means there’s something to learn.
  • To learn means there’s something to advance in – grow.
  • To advance means to move forward.
  • To move forward means progress.
  • To progress means grow stronger.
  • To grow stronger means more capable = have more to offer.
  • To offer more = more helpful.
  • To be more helpful = more useful.
  • To be more useful = greater outreach.
  • Greater outreach = more effective.
  • More effective = touching more people’s lives.

Now you have become a teacher.
