Think Before Speaking

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today…

Words count. What we say and how we say it, speaks volumes about who we are.

It’s important to Stop and Think before Speaking, to Breath before Reacting, and to Step Away if necessary. Silence creates a space to let the words we may later regret saying, dissipate.

Regardless of what someone may say to you, it’s your choice as to how you respond. When angry words hit a wall that does resonate with reaction, they lose their power. Silence can be a demonstration of inner strength.

Think of words as boomerangs. What you say and the attitude with which you say it will come back to you. So speak words of kindness, and most of all speak the truth.

About the Author : Marlene

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more. To view samples of my artwork, just go to http://www.createdigitalart.com/designers/marlene.php. Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
