Just a Reminder About Using Social Media…What is Your Digital Reputation?

True?

If it isn’t true – don’t say it.
If it’s only partially true, but it’s embellished so as to make you look good or important – don’t say it.
If it is a technical truth, but the major portion of facts are left out so as not to incriminate you – don’t say it.

Helpful?

Is what you are planning to say helpful to the listener? It may be true, but is it helpful?
Some people make excuses for their gossip simply because it is true. Just because something is true doesn’t mean it is helpful.

Inspiring?

Your words can either build up or tear down.
There are a lot of unfiltered words being spoken that are focused on tearing others down.
Imagine the perspectives you could change – the lives you could change – if you put more thought into the words you speak and tried to inspire those who would hear it.

Necessary?

This might just be the first question you need to ask. Is it necessary? If not, it most likely would be best left unsaid.

Kind?
