I saw an interview last week with Ellen de Generes and Madonna. They made quite a few points on the issue they were debating (bullying), but Madonna ended the interview with a valid point – a suggested place to start for change to happen.
She said that she urged everyone to try, for just one day – to not gossip.
I thought this to be simple, precise and practical advice.
Gossip can be as easily defined as saying something about someone that you wouldn't say to their face.
The dictionary defines it as "idle talk or rumor, esp. about the personal or private affairs of others"
- So …. How often do you find yourself talking about others?
- What does talking about others provide for you? (i.e. does it make you feel better about yourself somehow?)
- What does the gossip you're involved with actually say about you?
If you're not speaking about other people, what else do you have to talk about?
How full is your life?
Try giving it up for just one day and see what evolves!
Have a wonderful week, being Perfectly You.
PS. Bookings are open for our 2011 workshops. Only one place is left for Become Authentic. Feel Abundant starting on 18th January 2011.
