Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you’re about to react harshly and you’ll avoid doing and saying things you’ll later regret. — Lori Dechene
Whimsical and romantic by nature, I am always on the lookout for the next crazy adventure I can enjoy! I believe that life is not meant to be serious all of the time, and we should have fun as much as we can. Also, writing has always been more than a hobby for me.
Part of me wishes for restraint & the rest of me knowns better. I think connection is much more important & we can’t learn n grow without each other.. real truths, real thoughts, real conversations. Communication is massive, learning how to speak & listen..with care n respect n compromise. Speak those hardest of topics- they are the very one’s we should be having. It teaches us areas of where we can improve ourselves. Silence serves no one or nothing, except confusion & assuming. What another chooses to do with that message, I have no control… but it won’t be from my lack of effort.

Karen Dagwell this might be hard to do
Read this in a book on compassion today actually.
But the pause cannot be controlled by people like myself who are furiously emotional and impulsive
I mean yeah
True I guess I need to practise this
I live by the Pause…… You never know the effect you have on people
Bianca Vaccaro Miguel
and most importantly..pause whenever taking a selfie
yup.
So true.
amen
Pause while studying
And when you pause – pray!
There’s one more thing that should be added to this which of course is PRACTICE not taking ourselves so seriously.
@sandrafine2b Thanks for the reminder!
Think Before You Speak
You Cannot Take Back The Spoken WORD
This is true.. be nice and nice will be true and love you much.
This makes me think about a very close friend that always says that to me. <3 So true!
What’s the old saying, Taste your words before you spit them at somebody… Yes,,, and think about how you would feel if your words were said to you.
Never heard that saying before. Good one ! Thanks!
I’m practicing and learning, so much so I have distanced myself from close friends who would only call me to talk bad about others.
