Restraint of pen and tongue has evolved into one of my most valuable tools for managing my relationships. I don’t always have to speak, contribute, or correct someone. It’s fascinating that without adding my opinion, life still happens! And sometimes it turns out better than if it went my way. Pausing gives me a chance to shut my mouth while I think, to let humility in before self-righteousness takes over.
I heard today that practicing these principles isn’t contingent on anyone else’s behavior. What a concept! When I’m disturbed, that’s my signal to look inward, not point fingers and assign blame. Sometimes choosing silence strengthens character, while speaking out too quickly can unintentionally disturb others’ peace. The pause gives space for gratitude and tolerance.
