According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word ‘beget’ is a verb, and is in the top 20% of words used today. Interesting, since it has a long history. The simple definition of beget: to cause (something) to happen or exist.
I love words that have history and substance – words that can be played with and can cause us to pause and ponder. Perhaps it is only me who feels this way…perhaps I am a word nerd. Oh how I secretly long to be a word nerd!
Alas, I am getting off track so back to the point of this blog. We humans, at times, take life far too seriously, and when we do we begetting ourselves into all kinds of trouble!
Why is that? Why do we create chaos and adversity when the path is straightforward, without stones or obstacles?
Why is it that we (at times) over complicates things?
Why must we beget challenge when there is none.
I believe it is because if it seems too easy, there is a tendency to question or overthink the situation. Creating self-doubt and angst for no reason.
Or what about begetting conflict in an already charged situation, where personal accusations are hurled thus creating more chaos or drama.
I say – stop it, stop it, stop it!
So I dare you to stop it. To take stock and reflect on what you may be over thinking, over complicating and propagating in your life! Instead find ways to beget more love, joy, and success. YOU deserve that!
It’s a choice…
