Think


Think.

In today's world it seems we've become emboldened to express our opinions. Maybe the buffer zone of social media makes it easier to do? Having to say things face to face is always more difficult as the risk of anger or rejection come into play. 

The other day I came across the following guidelines for social media:

Think
Is it True?
Is it Helpful?

Is it Inspiring?
Is it Necessary?
Is it Kind?

I think the hardest part for me is the is it necessary component. I seem to have an opinion on everything, but is it necessary to share it at will? I don't think that you should shirk from sharing your thoughts when asked, but it is not necessary to respond to everything. 



Another consideration is the format in which you express your thoughts. Sometimes the best way to go is through a personal message as opposed to a public one. The next time you are ready to post or respond you might want to THINK before you press reply.
