Bite Your Tongue

Life is all about choices.  Living a life on purpose means not always doing or saying everything that we feel.  We live in a free country and that means we can pretty much do or say whatever we want.  But...

That doesn't mean that we should. Sometimes it's better just to allow someone else to have their way or win an argument because that person means so much to us.  I'm not saying you should be a doormat.  What I'm saying is that sometimes its better to put our own feelings down and show the people that we love how much we love them by allowing them the privilege of being right.  (even if they are not).

After all, look at the people in your life.  People who live totally by their feeling are consider arrogant, spoiled brats.  Most people don't want to be around them and they end up alone a lot of the time.  After all who wants to hang out with someone who has to have their way all the time or make everyone else miserable because they didn't get it?

The point that I'm trying to get at is that life is give and take.  The best relationships are those where both people are allowed to have their way some of the time and are willing to let the other person have theirs too, without it becoming a big to do.

"Bite your tongue" is a pretty good idea from time to time.  Even when you know you are right.  It's called self control.

Your friends will thank you, your family members will thank you,  the world will thank you.



Just saying...
