Everyday should be Friday - Filter-Free Friday. But too many want to play it safe. Too many want to be invisible. Too many don't want to offend. Too many are afraid of not being liked anymore.
Being liked is what those with a poor self-image worry about. If you need to be liked then you are giving up the need to be respected.
People respect people who don't lie - people who tell the truth. And Filter-Free Fridays are the days to tell the truth - in a non-hurtful way.
Today is the day you speak the truth. If the service was not "fine" then don't say it was. If the meal was not "fine" then tell the truth. If a co-worker needs a breath mint, then say so - privately.
Filter-Free Friday is not for embarrassing others. It is a day to tell people the truth - in an effort to make them better.
So, what needs saying today?
