Speak

With Compassion

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 11 months ago • 1 min read
Be careful with your words

“The tongue

has no bones,

but it is strong enough

to break a heart.

So be careful

with your words.”

What we say

can have an incredible effect

on others.

‘Speaking’

is one of the very first things

we learn to do as babies,

which proves

how important communication is.

When we open our mouths to speak,

we have an opportunity to

encourage,

inspire and

motivate others with what we say.

What we say is a choice,

like so many other things in our lives.

We would never think

of physically hurting someone we love,

so let’s make sure

we don’t emotionally hurt them

by what we say.

This means

that we need to

‘think before we speak’.

It’s important

to speak with

compassion and care

for a peaceful life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
