Remember when I talked about self reflection? If you forgot or missed it you can check the post out here. I'll be referencing one of those books on that "Recommendation List." As I was doing some self reflection, I came across a quote that I clearly needed to read.
"The Real art of conversation
is not only to say the right thing
at the right place but to leave
unsaid the wrong thing at the
tempting moment."
--Dorothy Nevill
Volume Four: Thoughts for one hundred days (50)
By: Richard L Evans
As you can guess, this incident happened to me this last week. I was having a conversation with family, and I don't know what came over me during that moment, but I just said what I was thinking. After I said what I did I realized how mean and negative it sounded. I apologized for the comment that was said, but I still felt class-less and like a bully for my comment.
There was a story I read once about someone (person A) handing someone else (person B) a plate. Person A told person B to throw the plate as hard as they could. The plate shattered into tons of pieces. Person A then told person B to say, "I'm Sorry" to the plate. Person B did, but the plate still stayed shattered.
What I'm trying to say, is even when we mess up and say unkind comments and realize it and apologize, like that plate those words can't be taken back and fix what was said. So remember how damaging words can be and try to refrain from speaking unkind and negative words.
"For beautiful Eyes, look for the good
in others; for BEAUTIFUL LIPS, SPEAK
ONLY WORDS OF KINDNESS; and for
poise, walk with the knowledge that
you are never alone."
--Audrey Hepburn
Best of luck. Hugs XXXX
