On many occasions you would have held that beautiful rose bud in your hand and felt a nasty prick of a thorn! Haven’t you?

Just like life, a rose has both – soft petals and pricky thorns that can hurt real bad.

Have you wondered that our tongue is just like that rose bud?

Our tongue has the ability to shower blessings and appreciation for someone which can feel as soothing and calming as a rose petal. Simultaneously, it can also throw abuses and curses for someone that has the capacity to hurt severely. Mind you, these pricks sometimes hurt for the entire life time!

So be careful what you say! How you treat others will directly reflect on what part of the rose you wish to be. I am assuming no one wishes to be remembered as a thorn though! 😉

Believe me, only effort it requires is wearing that glove of little conscious in our actions.

Please understand that anger is directly proportional to spontaneity. A little pause, a moment of thinking before reacting, especially when the emotion is not so positive, can do the trick!

Next time you go rose shopping, for a literal translation, request the vendor to carefully chop all the thorns before making that beautiful bunch, so they don’t hurt the receiver. And metaphorically, request your tongue to do the same for the receiver of your words every time!

This is indeed a great deal, even if we are self centered and think just about ourselves.

This little conscious act will help us in bringing a lot of positivity in our life and for the ones around us gradually leading us to a peaceful pasture surrounded by happiness and smiles. 🙂

Bonus credit – this is the only currency that you can carry forward for the journey beyond!
