~ THE PAUSE ~ This #tool is so underestimate today. The rise of #socialmedia has made it easy for people to say/type whatever they like - no matter how harmful and/or inaccurate it may be - and curse anyone who gets offended. However, for us to grow #spiritually and achieve true #peace in our livesn we must do better to be mindful of how powerful our words are and how much damage it can cause our neighbor. I've definitely had my share in this and often later regretted saying something hurtful out of upset or getting involved in toxic conversations at all (regardless of being right or wrong). I #challenge everyone to be more #compassionate in their responses even if you're simply spreading #truth, even if the other person is wrong. Or, avoid any #negativity all together when possible, especially when someone is trying to bait you. Your #body and #spirit will thank you for it and the world might be that much closer towards peace. #namaste 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 #lorideschene
