Our words have an impact on others whether we realize it or not!
I had to pop in with this post after something that happened yesterday really got me thinking about how the things we say can really have an impact on someone else whether you realize it or not!
So I don't want to call out the others involved(since I haven't asked them how they feel about that) but I the basics of this story are that I commented on a organization's post yesterday basically saying that thier 'motivational' post should say 'x' instead of saying 'y' and here's the thing I almost didn't comment at all because I was worried about getting dragged into some drama that I have no inclination to be involved in, but then I decided that what I was posting could help someone by correcting a statement that could be hurting someone's mindset, so I hit send and went about my day and boy am I glad I did!
It wasn't until later that when a friend and member of the community said to me, 'I just wanted to say thank you for your comment' not connecting the dots I said... 'which comment' and they went on to clarify that it was this post that I almost didn't comment on...and it really got me thinking last night and today about how one comment can have a huge impact in someone else's life about how they feel about you and possibly themselves.
It's up to you whether the impact you have on others is for the positive or the negative!
Whether you intend to have an impact in others lives or not I can almost guarantee you are. Are you going to have a negative impact on others or a positive one?!?
