Comments on: Is It True? Is It Helpful? Is It Kind? {Mantra 10} https://lisanotes.com/is-it-true-helpful-mantra-10/ on Life and Love Thu, 17 Feb 2022 14:32:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: Richella J Parham https://lisanotes.com/is-it-true-helpful-mantra-10/#comment-329595 Thu, 17 Feb 2022 14:32:48 +0000 https://lisanotes.com/?p=30181#comment-329595 I love this, Lisa! And I especially appreciate the thorough but short kindness inventory you provide. It’s easy to get caught in trying to sound kind without examining the intention behind one’s words. Our world is just screaming for people who will practice real kindness in speech.

Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!

“Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?”
So your post is causing me to reflect on the difference between “helpful” and “necessary”! 🙂

We are to speak the truth but we’re to speak the truth in love. And while sometimes that means saying things the other person doesn’t want to hear, sometimes it’s the loving thing to just keep silent.

Especially being kind in intent, tone and approach. The world would be a kinder place if we all evaluated our unspoken words in this manner.

I have found these questions helpful when I bad talk to my self and retreat into the mire of discouragement, Most of the time the self talk is not true nor helpful nor kind!
