Once you have spoken,
even the swiftest horse
cannot retract your words.
-Chinese proverb
When speaking, speak with vision, clarity, and kindness. Be positive. Instead of concentrating on the problem, look for the solution. Focus on the good, the true, the beautiful. Look for possibilities and see the potential in each person, each situation. Focused for good, your positive energy has great power. Tell the truth. Say what you mean instead of making easy promises that mean nothing. Keep your word. Be kind and generous. Let your language be filled with loving words instead of critical judgement.
What we call each other
ultimately becomes what we think
of each other,
and it matters.
-Jeanne J. Kirkpatrick
