Know what to say; when to say it...


Do I talk too much or too little? This is a question that should be posed to many individuals. Often, people communication skills need a tune up. There is a lack of tactfulness or just knowing when to "shut up". Each person must be made aware of his or her own conversation. It’s not the conversation with others but the one inside themselves. This is where our relationship suffers because of this problem with “knowing what to say; when to say it”.

Scores of relationships have been and are still being lost because of the missing words or too many words. Have you ever loved but were afraid to say or show it? Have you ever been angry and pushed out the wrong words? These situations have placed countless individuals into the class of sending out incorrect signals. With these erroneous signals, the version of actual meaning is lost.

Believe this, these absent words or numerous words aren’t just appearing. They are products of the inner YOU. They are determined by unwritten responses. There are five forces that can dictate your verbal communication: anger, fear, jealousy, pride, and conceit. These internal attitudes can destroy you and your relationship with others. There needs to be a moment in time with “self” in order to determine these faucets of the internal you. People need to widen their awareness of the effects that temp or seize them back from exerting true meaning.

In failing to communicate the actual meaning to yourself.... you may limit the power of the message to others. Case in point, if you find out your mate has cheated on you and being angry you decide to change the locks on the door. Your mate decides to agree with this move and leave to develop a new relationship. Are you really ready for the relationship to end? What is the true meaning behind changing the locks: punishment or termination? This is where you need to understand your inner-self. Often, you have those individuals who lashed out only to want the double dealer back. Why?

This is where knowing what to articulate and when to state it is so crucial to your character. This is why many people have reoccurring relationship troubles. They find themselves in a cycle of hurt, confusion, and misery. Taking the time to accurately enlarge what to say and when to say it is for all relational development, mother-daughter, father-son, brother-sister, and male-female. Be familiar with yourself and don’t be afraid to utter or show what is true in your heart.
