Gossip

I've come to realize lately how much gossip can affect others. I'd been thinking about it a lot and then there was an ensign article about wholesome language and there was also a link to a New Era article about gossiping.

I really enjoyed the articles and made me realize that I shouldn't participate in it. It can really have an impact on people, decisions, perceptions, etc. I've decided my new goal is to not gossip about others, situations, etc. I noticed how down I felt after a certain particular phone call that included me just listening to straight gossip about others. That whole day I just felt terrible, and wished I had never heard any of it, because it affected me so negatively.

So here's to my goal!
