Daily Thoughts

3/17/21

Step Back. All too often, we react instead of respond. We see something that upsets us, and we quickly click the “share” button or type out a quick text message or email. Or a neighbor puts up a flag or sign that supports the position that we disagree with, and we tear it down or engage in an argument with them because our sensibilities have been assaulted. Step back. Consider the consequences before you press “share” or “send. Think about your words before you speak to your neighbor. Ask yourself if this is going to make things better or worse, and then act accordingly.

From where I sit, I consider the consequences before I take action.
