Optimism Thought of the Week

Irreversible Actions

There were times in which I made a statement, and then later regretted making such a statement.  Once the words come out of our mouth, we can’t reverse the action.  The damage is done, and at times the relationship is destroyed with one hit.

My new method of choosing my words carefully begins with the stop light.  The stop light when it’s my return to respond is always red.  The red light allows us to receive the information, the yellow light allows us to gather an appropriate response, and the green light allows us to proceed.   – Glennel Hardy
