We are guilty of underestimating the power of our words. <\/p>\n

As you may have read, Paula Dean<\/a>, has probably sabotaged her business future. Hard to feel sorry for her. With social media and more in the mix, it shows our lack of self-control. And believe me, I know there's a heart problem too.<\/p>\n

Paula Dean is just a micro of what we all do and struggle with. She just happened to do it with a stunning level of stupidity. I say that so strongly because you would think she'd have advisors to provide restraint. Maybe she did and just refused to listen. Alas, we live in a culture that often believes in "we don't need any advice."<\/p>\n

Don't underestimate the power of your words.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
