Choosing Words
Ever find that the difference between having a fight erupt or not is simply because of the words that we choose to say or not say?I suppose that is where wisdom comes so often into play, but it also reminds me that we all seem to be such creatures of emotions. Our emotions ebb and flow and honestly aren't always a good gauge for us to follow, but how often do we allow ourselves to be lead by them?
Striking a healthy balance is a good thing and something I'm striving to do and cultivate within my own life. I'm realizing its making one choice at a time but gosh darn sometimes the urge to blurt something out is so strong that I need to squash it down within me.
In hindsight, its a good thing as things turned out far better than I thought that they would.
I am trying to remember something I learned from work in dealing with situations was to "take the emotion" out of it - look at the issue and go from there.

To clarify, I am not in any disagreement with anyone here, but was merely expressing my experiences of learning that indeed better choices can be made in my own life and I've seen the results when I practice it.
Emotions do run high on some instances and that mostly I prefer to keep quiet.
Our words,have a strong influence,in how a person responds to us. Exercising humility,can help us in choosing our words,when it comes to relating our emotions, in a balanced way.
