The simple choice: Kind or quiet …<br />

(01/19/20<strong>18</strong>)<br />

Sometimes we can feel pretty sure that we “know better” ... Sometimes we can<br />

feel pretty darn positive that our friends or our relatives or our co-workers or our<br />

enemies would do well to listen to our wisdom &/or heed our advice … And<br />

sometimes, I readily admit, we might even be right.<br />

Well even if you are right -- even if you happen to truly know when another<br />

person is “wrong” or “ignorant” or “lost”, consider choosing to keep your cajolings<br />

& your controllings & your criticisms to yourself anyway … Because what folks<br />

really need is your support, not your advice – what they really need is your<br />

enthusiasm, not your guidance – what they really need is your acceptance, not your<br />

correction -- your Love, never your worry.<br />

“Never miss a good chance to shut up.” ~ Will Rogers<br />
