Meet The PR officer aka My Mouth

Ever heard of,  ' i don't know who you are until you open your mouth?' Well i guess that is because your demeanor can be misleading, but your mouth...it will always beg to differ.
Now, this PR officer, can make you or break you, but cannot be fired. Ever...sad? I know.

Sometimes after a conversation, i replay it in my mind, then i bite my tongue. Yeah :).
 I think about the things i said, how i said them and why i said them. Sometimes, i feel embarrassed to face that person or people again after saying stupid things. And it's funny because i would say a very silent prayer before i face them " Lord, i hope they forgot what i said....".
Have you ever had a situation like that? I try to never wind up in them again.
You will be surprised at how we say things we do not mean, just to keep up appearance. It's cumbersome.

This is my own little personal list of things i worked on and still am working on when it comes to my mouth.

1. If it does not concern me in the least...it is none of my business, therefore, no discussion. Let's talk about the weather.

2. I will finish my own sentences. No filling in the blanks for me. I learned the hard way, that if you do not finish your sentences, people will finish them for you and then finish you. Never ever leave your sentences open ended.

3. I don't know the details? It's acceptable to say 'I don't Know'. It's easier than defending tall-tales.

4. I do not intend to do it or show up? ever? No beating around the bush. It's no... and i really mean no. It's yes... and i really mean yes. Maybe, or I will see, really, i may or i may not. Really, i will see. The maybe is reserved for certain things... i consult my lawyer first. I do really have one, but not just your typical kind.

5. If i want you to know, I will tell you. I don't want you to know, i will keep mum. Unless, i am supposed to tell you and it flies out the window, in that case, i will have to ask for your forgiveness.

6. If i am angry, i try as hard as i can not to say anything. I learnt the hard way! never to open your mouth when you are angry, especially if you are not very pleased with someone older than you or anyone for that matter. You will say things you never knew you could say because you never had the opportunity to say them, and also, it does not help the situation.

7. I don't express my opinion all the time, depending on circumstances, i will hope you figure it out yourself. Once bitten, twice shy, and if it's really not worth the trouble, why bother?

8. I prefer not to tell alternate versions of stories. And i don't care whatever else you do to me, please just don't lie to me. Deal breaker. And you ask, what if it it absolutely necessary? Well, don't say it swiftly.

9. If i can't repeat it in your face,what is the point of saying it behind your back?

10. As someone who believes in God, if i can't say it in the presence of God, then why say it in the presence of his creation?

One for the road:
I think your words are a reflection of the state of your mind, just as your eyes are a window to your soul.

If i do not hit the publish button now, i will be tempted to hit the save, then delete later....

but for once, i am just gonna lay it out there, without being abstract.

Till next time,
God Bless You.
