  SPEAKER_01: Sweet's Take Action Tuesday.

  SPEAKER_00: In life, there are times that we have to rebuke someone.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: We have to bring correction.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: We have to let them know that something they did was incorrect, wrong, inappropriate, and perhaps even insulting.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: So, how do we do that?
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: How do we do that and still preserve our dignity and the dignity of the person that we're speaking to?
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's important that we don't just let words fly off the top of our heads because words can't be brought back and they can be very damaging and very painful.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: So let's see if we can just maybe focus on correcting what's wrong and doing it with a sense of dignity, speaking in a neutral tone but a firm tone, and uh focusing on the action.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: So the classic kind of thing where we don't say you're a bad person, but we say that action that you did or that uh activity that you were involved in uh was wrong or it did not work for me, and this is the effect it had on me.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: That sort of approach really takes out the personal part of it and really focuses on the action because people are valuable, and we uh as as people of God and people of the divine order, people of uh spiritual level, we have a responsibility for our own words and our own actions as well.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: So, one way to look at it is when you think about a gymnast on a balancing beam, they take a lot of care once when they're on that beam not to fall, right?
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: When you observe them, they absolutely are exquisitely sensitive to making sure they don't fall off the beam.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Well, today we should employ the very same skill and care so that we do not fall off our beam when we are correcting someone about something they have done wrong with us.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: That's the thought for today.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: Be well.
• 2:31
