The Last Word

It’s natural to want to have “the last word” in any conversation. But notice those that are willing to let it ride where they resist the need to be right and prove their point by having the last word.

Chances are they are mentally tough.

They are more secure in their beliefs.

They have no need to prove their worthiness.

Their strength shows in being able to suppress their ego.

Wisdom is the maturity to know that confident silence is more compelling than having the last word.

Let us be content with our own word even if it’s not the last word today.
