We Must Think

Before We Speak

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Replace the negative with the Positive

“You never know

how long

your words will stay in someone’s mind

even long after

you’ve forgotten you spoke them”

This is so True!

How many times

have we gone over a conversation

in our minds,

seeing every detail

and hearing every word?

What we need to do

is to

replace the negative with the Positive,

so that the person we are talking to

will remember something Good

for that day.

Sometimes,

a friend or loved one

recalls a conversation we had with them,

quoting our words,

‘word for word’,

and we usually say:

“I’d forgotten I’d even said that!”

What we must do

is make sure

that our worlds are :

Positive,

Encouraging,

Upbuilding.

This is Good for us,

as well as the other person,

because it makes us

think before we speak.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
