A Message from the Universe ~ On Truth and Wisdom
Today’s Message from the Universe asks you to examine the manner in which you communicate and interact with others.
We often feel a sort of pressure to speak for the sake of speaking when we are interacting with others. We might feel the urge to fill an awkward silence, be a part of a conversation we aren’t interested in, or speak to defend ourselves even when it’s not necessary or worth our time to do so.
Today’s advice is to pay attention to our words and even body language when we interact with others. Wisdom is not the things you know but how you apply that knowledge. In this case, wisdom is learning to allow the silence sometimes and when you do speak, let it be true and kind.
“Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.:
-Bernard Meltzer
One of my biggest issues over the last few years is allowing myself to feel pressured to speak. I might try to keep my truth to myself in order to be kind but my words come out as a jumbled mess or, even worse, potentially unkind things that are nothing like what I actually think. It’s a relatively new thing for me but I’m learning to catch myself before words that aren’t mine fall off my tongue. I’ve realized the pressure I feel is of my own doing.
Obviously there are times when it’s a good thing to break the silence or offer kind words that might not be exactly true. There will also be plenty of times when we must speak on something that makes us uncomfortable or talk to someone we just don’t like. In these situations, as with any other, wisdom comes in the form of choosing the words you must share.
Take your time, practice if you are able, and don’t let others or yourself draw words from you out of impulse. Your emotions don’t have to dictate your words or actions. Pause for a moment and take a breath. Don’t be afraid to say you need a moment or don’t want to have a particular discussion at this time, or ever if that is your truth. As with anything else, observation and practice is how we improve.
