The first step is speaking less! 🙂
“Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.” – Proverbs 17:28
I don’t know about you, but I often suffer from speaking a little Too much, lol… Sometimes, when someone is sharing, it’s just better to remain quiet. Or perhaps someone is annoying, but sometimes it’s better to just let it go.
It’s hard sometimes, but it is still the better choice…
Personally, when I need help with disciplining myself; I pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help me. Sometimes, a word of warning or caution are needed, but more often words of encouragement and kindness are needed. And sometimes, no words are needed at all.
The Holy Spirit really can Help with making the right choice, just ask Him ?
