Censoring my true thoughts cuts me off from others. I don't need to stifle my ideas. I can express my true self in ways that are not hurtful.

In our attempts to be polite, we may stifle our best, most heartfelt ideas and beliefs. We're afraid we might hurt someone else's feelings if we spoke it truthfully. But it is possible to be honest without being rude or mean. How else do we let others know who we are? Unless we speak the truth, no bad idea will be challenged and no good idea will be shared.

I tell myself I'm too busy to volunteer or to volunteer more than I do. But if I look at my schedule carefully, I can find the time.

When a charity asks for help, it is easy to write a check. When a friend is ill, it's easy to send a card or a gift. But it would mean a lot more-to the charity and to your friend-if we gave of ourselves instead of our money. It would also mean a lot more to us. We waste so much time in meaningless activities: watching television, gossiping, fretting about things we can't change. If we could devote just part of this time to helping others, we'd be better off.
