Check yourself before telling someone a hard truth.
Some questions you might ask yourself if you want to tell somebody something they might not want to hear:
-
Is it true? If yes, proceed…
-
Does this person need to hear it? If yes, proceed…
-
Does this person need to hear it now? If yes, proceed…
-
Does this person need to hear it from you? If yes, proceed…
-
Is it kind?
An honest assessment might avoid some hurt feelings.
