The tongue is a fantastic organ! You Use it for speech, taste and decorative/culture ( tongue piercing). It’s a strong arsenal in your body. Tongue is a blessing and also your nemesis. It can make the difference between life & death, joy & sorrow.
Can make or break the relationship. Can sooth you or hurt you. With the same tongue we praise the Lord and curse the people. It can easily put one’s foot in one’s mouth !
Is your tongue ruining your life ? Relax…it is possible to keep tongue under check !
- speak less;
- speak with sincerity;
- speak with grace;
- speak kindly;
- don’t gossip.
Listen to what wise men said……

Quotes from net.
I’ve let things slip without thinking of the consequences – some funny, some hurtful. It takes practice to pace yourself and thinking before you speak. I’m working on it, and trying to remember I have two ears and one mouth for a reason.
Well, speaking without thinking is mostly based on reactions regarding what just happened. But yeah… with practice we can learn to keep our mouths shut and our ears open more often.
