Do you always speak from your heart? It’s easy to get frustrated with the people we’re closest to… but I always think about what we would say or do differently, if we knew this was the last time we spoke to or saw each other. That’s when all the “small stuff” just isn’t important anymore, and hopefully, at the core of it all, there’s love, friendship or at least compassion.

The next time you are frustrated with someone you care about, communicate with them from a place of love. Remind yourself that one day (and we do not get to choose which day!), your conversation will be the last one you have with this person.

Speak from a place of love and compassion, and choose kindness over negativity.
