    Dr. @nedratawwab got it right. I'm convinced that we as a society are woefully #emotionallyilliterate but our culture has all but banished healthy and effective grieving. Grieving goes far beyond losing a loved one (which a few days is given), but all types of loss: loss of relationship, loss of agency, loss of health, loss of job/career, and many more must be allowed to flow or else it will cause major problems in other areas of our lives.

It is great to back! This Podcast #9 of Kindness Speaks! TODAY'S POWER QUOTE: “Character is BOTH how you treat others and yourself with kindness” Today's Topic is: 3 Reasons why Being Nice is a character flaw Just like a when we get a crack in our windshield, the longer we go without getting it fixed, the worse it gets, making driving difficult for you and to others by being a hazard on the road! The same way that Being Nice is a character flaw. We cannot allow it to continue! Points to Cover are: 1. Being Nice is a Subtle Form of Manipulation 1. I'm F.I.N.E, its Ok, 2. Using Flattery to get what you want 2. Truth is Avoided 1. Examples: Doing a poor job at work, recipe for dinner didn't workout, someone 2. Not wanting to share the truth because we don't want to hurt the other person's feelings 3. Little White Lies…“is a well-intentioned untruth” 1. In our Upcoming Webinar, we're going to break down HOW To share potentially harmful ‘truths' to others in a kind way 3. Being Nice stifles maturity and growth and leaves everyone the exact same 1. When we do not want to BE part of the solution, then we leave others lacking of the needed truth, that they only hear well from YOU! 2. The truth is supposed to set us free! I'm not saying we IGNORE people's feelings and we must develop a stronger discernment for WHEN to share things, and this takes practice but I'd rather us tell each other, friends and family, the truth, so someone outside our home doesn't have to! I have a New Years Challenge for everyone that is listening to this.
