Tame the Tongue

Bridling emotions . . . essential quality when conducting a relationship of any type.  Unpleasant reactions seldom lead to positive progress - indeed, to any forward motion at all.

Prior to expressing a thought which has mean, trivial or negative import, spend a moment in silence within your own mind.  Decide to avoid conflict, if only for a short period of time.  Expressing an idea or opinion is never as important as the impact it has on another.

An animal which is uncontrollable is soon either trained differently or gone.  Explosive, abusive words inflict lasting damage.  Do remember that your judgments are yours alone . . . present them with modest consideration when possible . . . and with caution at all times.

Talk to yourself.  It is the least you can do.
