Kyle, keep up the videos! As for your question, I think it's really about the intention vs impact. Is my intention in my thoughts about how to edify and build others up? If so, then my words should help strengthen others. That said, even with pure intentions (which I always have, of course), the impact those words have on others is important. How people receive my message cannot be minimized because even with pure intentions, I need to be careful telling someone that they should put the donut down, or that they need to vary up their political news a bit, as that could damage my relationship.
I also think social capital matters. Have I earned the right to speak that into their life? I think they more people trust that you want the best for them, they are much more likely to hear what you say.
Finally, how I say something makes a huge difference. For example, asking guided questions, and even simply asking permission to share my thoughts or questions outloud with that person could make a big difference.
You nailed so many parts of this. I love how you mention asking for permission to share thoughts. I feel like it shows you respect the person enough to wait to insert yourself into something until they've given you the green light to do it.
I also think you're right about having earned the right to share your truth with someone. When you've spent years dvleoping a relationship and investing in someone, they are way more inclined to trut that you really do have their best interest at heart. Honestly, that's why I sometimes wonder what people leaving negative comments on social media posts think they're accomplishing. You've done none of the work to earn the right to share your truth with that person in a meaningful way.
Love your thoughts, man! Thanks for dropping them in. We need to find a time to chat!
