Is it helpful?(DW#18)
Oct 18, 2016
Even if the messages past the first test of veracity, we must pause a moment to ask if it is helpful?
It is good to remind ourselves that if we don't have anything to say, it is perfectly acceptable to be silent. If we cannot add anything to the conversation, let us practice noticing our desire to fill up what feels like an uncomfortable silence. We can notice this feeling of the need to engage and not act upon it.
Our words are so much powerful when they are spoken intentionally and not just to fill the silence. The same is true for our messages.
Questions to ask to determine whether it is helpful:
- Does it add to someone knowledge?
- Does it inspire them in some way?
- Will it bring a smile to their face?
