Talk about things that matter

Ever heard the phrase talk is cheap? I think it's time we reiterated that phrase and make everyone everywhere understand it.

You see, these days I'm seeing people making use of words for the the most useless-est things possible. They use words to curse each other, talk bad about each other, plot against each other, hurt each other.. the list seems simply endless. What the Bible says is, when you speak, let your words be seasoned with grace so that everyone who hears it will be benefitted from it. The comparison infact is with salt. How salt adds flavor to absolutely anything, your words are supposed to add flavor to life.

I know it is difficult to literally think before every word that comes out of your precious mouth. But for starters, one place I'd recommend you start off with is reminiscing about what you have already spoken and taking time to evaluate yourself.

Here are 3 questions you should ask yourself after every conversation

1. Did I really have to say something?
2. Did what I speak make a difference to anyone or anything in a 'good' way?
3. If I had to go over the whole conversation once again will I still do it the same?

If the answers to all the above questions are a solid yes, then Pat yourself on the back. You are on the right track.

Once you make a habit of questioning the essence your convesations you will start getting consious of your talk and before you know it, you would have been if not the world's best talker, atleast a useful talker whose words are worthy of someone's time and your energy rather  than being a loose tongue rumble in the Bronx whose words are better off not being wasted.
