Before you speak, think…
Is it necessary?
Is it true?
Is it kind?
Will it hurt anyone?
Will it improve on the silence?
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Appreciative Self-Inquiry:
Do I speak with intention and meaning?
When do I tend to speak incessantly and fill up the silent spaces?
Do I speak with integrity and respect?
When do I tend to gossip or speak critically of others?
Am I aware of the impact I have on others when I am speaking?
In what direction do I use the power of my words at home, at work, socially, in public and with myself?
