Stop Text Messaging

I know that relationships are a weird thing. No matter if it’s romantic, business related or a friendship; it’s still a rocky terrain to navigate. The one thing that I can suggest is, if you have a question- ask it! If you’re wondering about something- inquire! Sitting up wondering is not the way to go. Now, personally, I’m a little too upfront and text messages provide the option to be very direct and terse. Stop text messaging when it involves sticky situations in relationships- it doesn’t work!

Do a breakfast or lunch conversation, give that person a call- but DO NOT TEXT nor do you send an email.

One of my best friends told me this once before. And now... I’m not saying this only because it was done to me. I just did it to someone. (After I had already been warned about the oil and water relationship of text messaging and important issues in relationships. Stupid me!)

I did the same exact thing to someone that I’ve known for quite sometime and we could’ve avoided a conversation if I had only called when I first thought about the question I needed to ask.

My friend would have appreciated it, and I wouldn’t be up writing what ever this is!

Lesson learned? I hope...

If not? Here's a "Don't Text Message If" list to go by.

Don't Text Message If...

1. A message is longer than the allotted characters in a text message
2. If a message requires more than one separate text message
3. You are making a date
4. You are breaking a date
5. You are telling a partner you love them for the first time
6. You are breaking good news
7. You are breaking bad news
8. You are breaking up
9. You are making up
10. You are wishing someone a happy birthday, happy anniversary, etc. It is so much better to do that in person and enjoy the connection and intimacy involved with face-to-face communication!

The Say for the Day | Mar. 16, 2009

In the game of life is there ever a real winner?

Are we competing against each other or is it a competition against self?

I always say that I'm my biggest competition and my worst enemy.

I think that I'm the only person that hold me back.

Is there someone that you're allowing to hold you back?
