Watch your mouth! | a man's guide to controlling what he says | MMC25

Episode 25: Watch your mouth! Men, The words you speak have power – and they affect what happens in your life! Passive people don’t bother controlling their mouths. They let their mouths control THEM. These are the kinds of words that come out of the mouth of passive men. 1. Gossip- Talking about someone else’s business – whether it is true or not is gossip. Bottom line is – if it’s not your business – then you should not be talking about it! 2. Anger- There is a time and a place for anger. It’s a valid emotion, and there are proper ways to express it. But more often than not - we should just shut up, rather than snap at people we love. 3. Criticism- We hate it when people tell us how to do our job – but we’re often full of criticism toward others. We ride our kids about their grades, their appearance, their chores. We gripe about our wives, we complain about our jobs and or bosses, and our employees. Their work and effort is never enough. When you die – your family will remember the words you have spoken. Do you want them to remember all the times you told them how to stack the plates? Or do you want them to remember how good you made them feel when they did something right? The truth is we need to replace these words with the kind of words that make a positive difference! Let’s offer words that resolve conflicts, that encourage people, and build them up. Make it a point to think before you speak! This post was originally published in February of 2015.
