What Did You Say?

“Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.”
~ Attributed to Plato

****

The wise are adept at managing their mouth. They know when to speak, what to say, and how to say it. The foolish, on the other hand, have a reckless mouth. They speak out of selfishness. Feeling compelled to hear themselves speak, their timing, content and/or presentation is ineffective. Remember, The Good Book tells us, “Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble” (Proverbs 21:23).

Today, be like the wise and start managing your mouth. I ask you, the next time you speak will you have something to say or will you have to say something?


Its your life: live it, love it & celebrate it!
