Eco Lifestyle And Home December Newsletter – Giving

Dear Friends, Clients, Business Associates and Neighbors,

December’s theme for our Eco Lifestyle and Home News is Giving.

Giving

Once again the season of Giving is upon us where we celebrate the holidays with festivities, yummy food and sharing holiday traditions. We all have experienced the joy of giving: giving gifts, giving of ones time, giving financial donations and giving love to one another.

There is more to giving of things. I have just recently realized how powerful the gift of giving of honesty when it is also helpful.

I have noticed in recent group functions that many people speak their mind, without thought of how it would affect other people. Anger, accusations and incomplete truths can run rampant along with irrational, misguided, uninformed, and the fear based arguments. The crowd picks up on the energy and feeds more negativity. I have been at loss for comments to either set the “record straight”, or retort a quick remark, or match the negative energy with a “honest” comment.

But when I think of being honest and helpful, I have given pause for thought. I have had long mental discussions with myself as how best to respond to group negative comments. How can I be helpful and honest? What can I say to make the situation better? I am reminded of a saying from The Buddha:

If it is not truthful and not helpful, don’t say it.
If it is truthful and not helpful, don’t say it.
If it is not truthful and helpful, don’t say it.
If it is truthful and helpful, wait for the right time. – Buddha

There would be a lot fewer words spoken if this was everyone’s guide. I keep coming back to this quote and marveling at how challenging it is to follow this simple, yet profound instruction.

Consistently speak only what is truthful AND helpful will give gift of kindness now during this holiday season as well as all year long.
