Schedule is from Monday through Sunday, including holidays, every season, every year, including leap year. Thanks for tuning to a life-changing podcast. God bless. Amen. Have a positive day. Welcome to positivity successor episode 148. Today's topic, what we talk about is think before you speak. So let's get into it. Think before you speak. You see, in life we're all given. We all have a voice in life. But you know, a lot of times around the world, we think about things that can either be good
Starting point is 00:01:01 or it could be hurtful to someone. See, there's a quote out there that says, Before you decide to speak and say something that may hurt someone, just take a second to think how you would feel if it were said to you. That's by Dave Hedges, written and said by Dave Hedges. You see, because we got the golden rule out there that says, treat others how you want to be treated. And like the quote says, before you decide to speak and say something that may hurt someone,
Starting point is 00:01:53 just take a second to think how would you, how you would feel if it were said to you. If you were to say something mean to someone, do something. someone, just imagine how you would feel in the person's shoes that you said that those hurtful things do. Because we're sensitive. We all messages always, always don't seem to deliver the right way in life. And in the word think, there is different questions for the word, think. And to start off, the letter T and the word think says, is it true? You know, things we say out there, do you actually mean it to be true? Do you want it to be misspoken, led somewhere else? Or do you want it to be it to be truthful and not a false narrative or anything put out there.
Starting point is 00:03:21 And the letter H and the word think, do you want what you say to be helpful? Or do you want what you say to hurt someone? You see, because when you want to help someone, it draws in unity with one another. but if you say something hurtful to another person, it can cause dissension and draw them away. And you may not even realize it, but again, you gotta think these things before you speak, how do you want what you think
Starting point is 00:04:01 and what you want to say to someone? Do you want what you think to say to someone? be helpful and have them closer in your life? Or do you want what you think and say to draw them away to have you be alone? And, you know, the word I, the letter I in the word think is what you think before you speak, inspiring to someone? Or is it is it
Starting point is 00:04:49 to talk down on them and have them feel discouraged? You know? And the liar N and the word think isn't necessary
Starting point is 00:05:08 about what you're thinking before you speak it? or do you want it to be an insult or a threat to someone? Because I don't think it's necessary for a threat or an insult to be thrown at someone. And lastly, the letter K in the word, think, is it kind what you think before you speak get to someone? Or do you want it to make them feel bad? You know?
Starting point is 00:05:56 And again, like the quote says, before you decide to speak and say something that may hurt someone, just take a second to think how you would feel if it were said to you. Because if you were on the receiving end of that, what you were to say to someone that may be not a good thing and can hurt them and have them feel down and unsafe. Don't you want it to be true? Don't you want it to be helpful? Don't you want it to be inspiring? Don't you want it to be necessary? And don't you want it to be kind? on all the things that you think about before you speak it,
Starting point is 00:06:51 because you can't say this, you shouldn't be swearing or saying inappropriate things to kids that are not mature or cross 21 yet, but in reality you shouldn't be saying those hurtful and mean things at all. You see, you want your, you want what you think to be a great thing. And you want what you think about to come from the heart, from your mind. What you think is the right thing to say and how it can help someone. Because when we say hello to someone,
Starting point is 00:07:48 when they say bless you to someone after they sneeze or when they they have flageolids and they and they say excuse me and you say your excuse or something that can make someone's day and you don't even realize it when you say something that that is from from manners like thank you hello goodbye all that and you engage in the conversations like if someone said said they
Starting point is 00:08:31 they they got a certificate in a college course or something you would say congratulations on gain that degree, gain that certificate that they work so hard, put their effort and money towards to work that off to get what they need to go. You see, we want what we, the point here is we want what we think and what we say to deliver as nicely and positive as we can because when we say things that are hurtful and mean to someone and can ruin their day
Starting point is 00:09:29 it can it can get a have a have a spikeful and a dark feeling and themselves so we want what we say to people and when we think
Starting point is 00:09:49 about in our mind, we don't want to think negative thoughts because you can't go through life with a negative mind. You can only go through life with a positive mind. If you continue to think positively out of every situation and problem that comes your way, it's not good to keep going in arguments and drama forever. It's not good to keep dissension from, from those that hurt you in the past.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Sometimes history is even out there. Sometimes people make up from the beef that they resonated with each other in the past. They may not have talked to each other for so long, but when they reunite sometimes, they may make up in the future from, from what happened in the past and can squash that beef and continue on with their lives. So what we say to people and what we think about to say to someone, we want to come from the heart. We want it to make them feel good.
Starting point is 00:11:26 It may not be nice hearing the truth about what we're calling someone out on stuff. But we don't, no one should ever lie, cheat, or steal in life. Everyone should be honest, tell the truth, feel what they want to feel, say what they feel like from the heart that should be said. Both sides should come to a compromise. Both sides should be able to stay stuff that make each other feel good and a positive outcome of the arguments and situations that they're stuck in. Because thinking of something positive out of a situation or argument is the most strong thing.
Starting point is 00:12:28 It makes everyone strong in those situations. Everyone is strong and resilient and can work together to build up the broken relationship that may be affected from the hurtful things that was thought and said to one another. The most important thing is to think positively out of what you think. Think about the positive things that you want to say to someone else. To have empathy for someone else. To be honest. And again, for it to be truthful, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind.
