T.G.I.Filter-Free Friday

Don't waste another Friday keeping the truth to yourself. Today is the day that filters come off and you speak your mind, offer your opinion and help others move toward excellence - in a non-hurtful way.

• Today is the day you speak up when that guy in the next cubicle uses his speaker-phone to have conversations instead of using a handset.
• Today is the day when you lean over to the next table in the restaurant and ask the person on the cell phone to take their call outside if they are going to speak so loudly.
• Today is the day when you ask people who are freely dropping the f-bomb to politely tone down their language.
• Today is the day when you politely re-focus a clerk's attention back onto serving you instead of having side-conversations with their co-workers.
• Today is the day when you make the person you are conversing with (either in-person or on the phone) the most important person in your life at that moment.

Today is Filter-Free Friday, a day when you remove the filters that stop you from expressing what is on your mind - in a non-hurtful way. Use this day to its full advantage. You will soon discover the freedom you feel at no longer swallowing your comments. You will no longer feel frustrated that people just don't "get it." Your life will begin to change when you discover how empowering it is to say that one thing you've been thinking but have held back so as not to create a disturbance. You will find yourself focusing on excellence - especially in yourself.

Excellence does not come as a result of swallowing your feelings, being afraid to express your truth or by being afraid of the insensitive actions of others. Excellence comes when you fight through your discomfort and take a small risk.

Speak up today. If you can think it, you can say it - in a non-hurtful way.
