Bully and bulldoze
Do we even known when we do it? As a society I think we have lost sight of being "honest and blunt" or giving our opinions. Granted, we don't to sugar coat everything. But somehow, I see how approach that many will make and it forces me to make a conscious decision on how I interact with people. I don't want to bully and bulldoze. I want to be as open as I can possibly be. I owe that to Jeremy. I wanted to learn a different way to approach things.He was happy to teach it. However, I needed to approach with my own version of logic. I customized it somehow, in order to fit in line with my comfort level and logic. Something to think about.

There is a step between staying silent and being painfully honest; it's called tact.
ReplyDeleteYou can also follow Dear Abby's rule for telling someone something:
- Is it true?
- Is it helpful?
- Is it kind?
If it's not all three, figure out another way to share the information, or keep it to yourself.
Thank you! I'd been racking my brain trying to remember where I had come across the "rules." I appreciate you reading this and commenting. It means a lot.
