Impeccable Words
Common sense – Is it common?
Sound practical judgment and paying attention to the obvious are the foundations of the art of applying common sense. I would imagine at this very moment you could make a list in your head of the times when you watched a loved one, friend, or co-worker choose to do something that seemed void of a lick of sense to you and yet they were quite content in that moment with their thinking. It makes one wonder if common sense is learned or natural – does it not? In any case, common sense simply put makes sense! Simple, yes? Hmmm!
The First Agreement…
“Be Impeccable with Your Word.” How brilliantly simple – how delightfully complex! When you speak all you have to do is be flawless, faultless and unassailable or unquestionable. What a mouthful! How does one go about accomplishing this seemingly gargantuan task? Great question – even if I wrote it myself!
Thinking cap time…
Be honest, true, kind and considerate with whatever it is that you are going to say. Sounds easy! OK, let’s think about this for a moment. Have you ever uttered words that the moment they left your tongue, you were sorry that they fell on another’s ears? What about the expressions on the ever-playing tape in your head? Would all of them have a PG rating? Probably not. Thinking about what you are going to say and to whom you are about to say whatever it is – is a good beginning.
