Speaking with Intention
🌸 Inspiration Corner
"Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?" – Rumi
Words are powerful. They can uplift or destroy, heal or wound, inspire or discourage. But how often do we pause before speaking? In a world where reactions are instant—texts, tweets, comments—it’s easy to forget the weight our words carry. Rumi’s wisdom invites us to slow down and ask: Is what I’m about to say true? Does it need to be said? Can I say it with kindness? If we all did this, imagine the peace we could bring, not just to others but to ourselves.
🧘 Mindful Living Tip
How to Speak with Purpose and Compassion
Pause Before Responding – Take a deep breath before reacting. Sometimes silence is the best answer.
Think Before Typing – If you wouldn’t say it face-to-face, reconsider typing it online.
Be Selective with Your Words – Not everything needs to be said. Some things are best left unsaid.
Reframe with Kindness – Instead of criticism, offer encouragement. Instead of judgment, choose understanding.
Listen More, Speak Less – The best communicators aren’t the best talkers; they’re the best listeners.
