“I NEVER KNOW WHEN TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT!”
OK truth now, how many of you, or someone you know, had this problem??
I think most of us have run into this issue a time or two.
So, to help you with this awkward situation, I have a few quick thoughts for you to think about.
You have to be quick & you have to be slow…
Here’s what I’m talking about:
****************************************************
Slow to criticize….quick to encourage.
Slow to boast….quick to compliment.
Slow to question….quick to believe.
Slow to resent….quick to forgive.
Slow to react….quick to listen.
Slow to give up….quick to hope.
Slow to condemn….quick to defend.
Slow to demand….quick to give.
*******************************************************
If you really think carefully before you speak, some of these may come in handy.
Try them out, you may be surprised what a difference they can make for you
“Change your thoughts & you change your world”…

BY THE WAY: Are you having challenges or struggling with things in you life, lost your job, out of money, recovery from injuries with bills coming in overwhelming you, grieving, down or depressed? I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there, it hurts, its terrifying & you have no clue where to turn.
I honestly have been through this myself. I was in a tragic accident last year lost my job / income, my health, mobility. I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in I was drowning in debt. Sound somewhat familiar? Let me share with you what I did that literally saved my life. I’ve been able to completely turn my l life around, get back up, become more successful than ever before financially free.

I LOVE your lists Linda, this one included. You’re always providing enormously helpful information to think about.
As far as keeping your mouth shut… I think this is one of those things that we all learn the hard way from negative experiences isn’t it? lol A long, long time ago…. in a galaxy far, far away….. I said something stupid that caused the end of one of my friends relationships. He thanked me later, but at the time it wasn’t good. lol
Yeah Shaun, we all say something stupid at times, but the key is to learn from it & move on. You have done just that & I’m glad to hear your friend came around to thank you for it. Thank you for sharing.
I learned a long time ago to count to 10 before I speak. Blurting out some of the stuff that used to come top of mind never served me very well. Took me a long time to learn that. Count to 10 … I count backwards too … seems to calm me as well 🙂 LOL … sometimes I count backwards from 10-1 about 10 times 😉
Apart from when I’ve talked to my mother I can’t remember the last argument I’ve been in!
Hahaha, a woman of numbers! I like that, you’re right there are times it takes more than 10 seconds to filter before opening our mouths to speak. Your disposition is so steady, calm & mature, I know it takes a lot to get you worked up. You’ve done well my friend to manage & control your younger years. I would like to think most of us are striving to do that, but unfortunately, they prove us wrong. Thank you for your wisdom.
Oh Linda, this is awesome! I think ALL of us have had this problem once or twice…anyone who says they haven’t – is lying 😉 Thanks for sharing this!
You are so right to say anyone who say’s they haven’t had this problem isn’t being honest. Count to 10, 20 or whatever it takes, people don’t ever forget what you say. Thank you Kristine.
Great list and advice. It really does come down to thinking before we speak. I know I have had to learn this lesson – the hard way at times!
Don’t feel alone, I think we’ve all been there many times. It’s learning from it that is key. There are too many people however, who STILL don’t get it & just let it fly… Thanks Kristin.
