Wise Words

October 16th, 2007 Posted in General

My friend Jennifer Malhotra shared the following wise words with me.

“When I was growing up my father raised us with a powerful saying that has always stuck with me and goes like this: 

Before you say anything in life, be sure to pass it through 3 strainers:

1st is the strainer of TRUTH: is what you are saying the absolute truth

2nd strainer is DOES IT NEED TO BE SAID?: See not everything that is TRUE in life NEEDS to be said

3rd strainer is WILL IT BRING ABOUT ANY GOOD? Sometimes when something is true and you personally might feel a need to say it, you must ask yourself but will I foster any peace, or bring joy, resolution, or harmony by saying this…ultimately will it do any good? Because if the answer is no, it’s better to not say it all…
