“He gossips habitually; he lacks the common wisdom to
keep still that deadly enemy of man, his own tongue”
: o ) Mark Twain
Think before you speak; how often have you heard this gem growing up? Plenty of times I am sure.
Yet time and time again we insert a word or conversation that we regret or at the very least causes more harm than good.
Everything we do and say should have powers to help or heal or at the very least do no harm.
When we reach out with our words we don't know how much hurt they can cause, until its to late.
Words of course can also heal, help and uplift. The power of the spoken word has positive and not so positive aspects.
So the next time you want to speak and perhaps blurt something out ask your self these questions:
What harm could these words cause another?
Does this statement share gossip or does it share good news?
Will I in any way regret the words I am about to say?
If you can take the time to practice these 3 questions then maybe you can make the time to not cause harm or discomfort.
Just saying and as always sharing and caring and sending you a smile for today : )
