Yes, I said it. Talking shit. You know, gossip, half-truths and outright lies! Talking shit.
Has it happened to you?
Or are YOU guilty?
Talking
Now, I’m just sayin’. It may start out as seemingly innocent conversation but before you know it you’re racing down that highway to gossip hell.
“You’re not going to believe what I just heard. Did you hear about so and so and what they’ve been doing?”
Don’t go there.
“She told me that he started the whole thing.”
Don’t take that bait.
“And if that weren’t enough, then she said…”
About
Face.
Yes, that’s right-about face. Turn and politely walk away. Put in your earbuds and enjoy some music. It will get you much, much further and in the end make you feel much, much better!
My advice (and since you DIDN’T ask for it I am more than happy to share) is don’t engage in those kinds of conversation. Move forward. Or if you must talk about other people please accentuate the positive!
Thank you.
You
Yeah, YOU!
Reach out to me and start the conversation with this question:
“Hey, CK, how can I help you help me?”
I’m glad you asked.

Like I always say “A positive attitude may not solve all your problems but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.”
