Sometimes I catch myself wanting to wedge my words of wisdom into a conversation, but words are wasted unless the other person is ready and open to receiving them. Giving unsolicited advice is like cooking meat for a vegetarian – useless and even potentially harmful.
I’m glad I’m getting better at maintaining silence, allowing other people to peacefully go their own way and it empowers me to stay firmly grounded in the beliefs that serve me the most too.
I’M SPEAKING LESS … and ENJOYING more.
