Kind words do not always need to be sweet or flattering. Good words help people see reality without destroying their courage, and invite them to return to what is right.
Comfort Without Hiding the Truth
We can encourage someone while still helping them see what needs to change.
Good Words Begin With Good Intention
Before speaking, ask whether you want to help or simply want to feel superior.
Sincerity Should Walk With Kindness
We can speak directly without sarcasm, humiliation, or attacks on another person’s worth.
Words Can Create Room to Begin Again
Sometimes a short, nonjudgmental sentence can help a discouraged person find courage to do good again.
What You Can Do Today
Tell someone one sincere sentence that helps them see both their strengths and what they can improve.
One Good Thing Today
Skip one sarcastic remark, even when you have a reason to make it.
Come Back Tomorrow
Before speaking, ask whether your words will improve the situation or simply release your emotion.
