baby-1399332_640Do you ever wish to put your fingers in your ears when you know you are about to hear words you do not wish to hear?  Do you wish to cover or avert your eyes when words contrary to what you wish to read appear in your inbox or newspaper?  This is a very human—in fact a very child-like—reaction aimed at saving you pain or discomfort.  But do you realize that words can only cause you pain if you choose to allow them to.  What if you decide that all words are learning opportunities?  We could go on and on about this, but these are merely words.  You always have a choice as to what you experience.  Do you get our meaning?
