Speaking less often helps you avoid making impulsive or emotional statements that can undermine your goals. When we speak out of anger or desperation, we may give away too much or say things that we later regret. By practicing restraint, we can ensure that everything we say is deliberate, measured, and serves a strategic purpose. In personal relationships, this law is just as crucial. People often say more than they mean, leading to misunderstandings or conflicts. By adopting a habit of saying less, you give yourself the space to think before speaking, ensuring that your words are impactful.
