Less is more

My Gramma used to say..."less said, easier mended". When you are young and impetuous this doesn't really mean a whole lot. As you mature it becomes a more relevant statement.

The tongue truly is the strongest muscle in the body. It can hurl words in a good way and a bad way that can have a lasting impact. 

Many a times I've sat with an email in my drafts reading and re-reading its contents. I've had to shave off negative wording and add in positive. Prior to hitting send, I needed to be sure that I was prepared to deal with any feedback that may arise. 

The same goes for my mind in a social setting. Determining why I want words to be presented is the key to sounding informed. Am I speaking just to speak or am I prepared to deal with any feedback that may arise?

​Sometimes it is best just to remain silent. Be in the moment. Listen to learn. Walk away with peace on your side. <3
