Think about this. No one but God (if you believe) can hear
what you’re thinking. I wonder how often it is that people think instead of
speak? I’m a writer, I am a thinker, I
know I can’t speak due to a lot of bad results, so I write, then I give it twenty-four
hours. If you think it, no one hears it unless you communicate it. No one knows
it as long as you don’t communicate it in any way. But, then again, no one
knows you unless you communicate. So, there are a lot of variables to
communication and thought. As a norm, we all edit what we think before we speak
according to the person that we are speaking to and the reasons that we are
speaking to them. But, there are times when this can be difficult; editing what
we think before we speak can be difficult in the throes of anger and emotional upheavals
and these are the moments that we don’t think. These are the moments spoken
from your heart, where your feelings are instead of your mind where logic and
reason live.
Can we have more control over this? Ask yourself how many
feet you would have never stuck in your mouth if you have just stopped and
thought whatever it was you were going to say without moving your lips.
Some of us can control what others hear coming from our mouths
because so many of us spend a lot of time alone, in our space, in our homes and
some of us do most of their communication in written dialogue. That makes
communication so much easier but then with NO social interaction, in person,
then our abilities to be out and about in the world can become difficult. So,
maybe that rule of thumb of counting to ten before responding makes sense and
maybe, just maybe we can adapt that into our lives and make it habit forming
enough that we can go out in the world and socialize and communicate without
fear of feeling stupid or inept.
That’s all I got today folks! Let me know what your thoughts
are on this subject. I would love to hear.
