Sometimes we can feel pretty sure that we “know better” … Sometimes we can feel pretty darn positive that our friends or our relatives or our co-workers or our enemies would do well to listen to our wisdom &/or heed our advice … And sometimes, I readily admit, we might even be right.

 

Well even if you are right — even if you happen to truly know when another person is “wrong” or “ignorant” or “lost”, consider choosing to keep your cajolings & your controllings & your criticisms to yourself anyway … Because what folks really need is your support, not your advice – what they really need is your enthusiasm, not your guidance – what they really need is your acceptance, not your correction — your Love, never your worry.

“Never miss a good chance to shut up.” ~ Will Rogers
