SPEAKING

I thought it was interesting listening to John Maxwell describe SPEAKING.  He is a professional speaker.  He said that when you are SPEAKING think about how is the audience going to apply this to their life--how will this help them to succeed? 

So, at first, I thought that I might just skip this word.  I'm not a professional speaker, how does this relate to me?  WHAT WAS I THINKING???  Every word I speak is being heard by so many and the impact my words leave is great.  How I speak and what I speak needs to be said with great care.  I am often one who speaks what I'm thinking immediately rather than think before I speak. 

SPEAK with care--another goal of mine!
