Power of the Pause.
If you are to learn anything today, you must learn and remember - The Power of the Pause. Pausing allows you - to take a breath in your life.
You'll have to work your butt off, but today I am saying that while you do that, its really important to pause along the way and take a break from communicating outwardly, so you communicate inwardly with yourself.
PAUSE - and take the time to find out what is important to you. Find out what you love, what is real and true to you.
PAUSE - before you report something you don't know is absolutely true.
PAUSE - before you put a rumour out there as a fact.
PAUSE - before you make judgements about people's personal and professional decisions.
Sometimes when you pause, you'll realise you are going to have to hold yourself back from acting out on your ego and your first impulse.
THAT IS POWER - and with power comes responsibility, so remember to pause and reflect. Finally remember this - when ever you are in doubt, PAUSE - take a moment. Look at your options, check your intentions and then take the high road.

Great advice Leo, I'm sure many people could benefit from taking it onboard. (although not anyone here!). :))
So very true, take a breath, walk away and think about it before you hit that 'publish' button or speak those words :)
I have blown away, Leo.
Excellent!! Simply Excellent.
A great man once said, " When I was angry I have made the greatest speeches I ever regretted."
