I have not had a lot to say lately. After a week of writing on the blog,
I realized that I was looking for a venue to be heard and perhaps share
some creativity, but something about this venue has felt wrong.
Although I may be useful to offer some kind words for people
when they are going through tough times, most of what I have to
say is really just filler. However, the following are the things that
I think are critical when having any conversation, sharing thoughts, etc.
Why do you say what you say?
Think before you speak. You have the freedom to choose the outcome-
There is the gap between stimulus what you heard and response
(what you are about to say to what you heard).
Take the moment in that gap to determine what you want your outcome
to be. Think about what you are going to say, how it is going to
sound once it comes out and how it is going to affect the person you are
talking to. Then, open your mouth. Ask yourself: I am I looking for
an efficient outcome or an effective outcome?
For every action there is a reaction.
Diversity and Unity:
Treat everyone equally by treating everyone differently.
We are all unique.
Quotes:
People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
Tell me why you believe what you believe and maybe I can learn from your
way of thinking. (In other words, have an open mind. Listen to others.)
"Treat others the way you want to be treated."
Remember:
Everyone has a story to tell. (It does not matter their shape, color, size or age).
Everyone wants the same thing; to be heard, understood and validated.

If you only had a few words to share what would you say?

I sometimes feel the same as you about my blog, but I have found that sometimes even the filler can help someone else :-). Love this post.
Thanks for your comment :-). I run
a mile a day, but I can run 8 miles at sea level. Here in high altitude 3 is pretty much my limit
these days :-).
