Talk To Me

Thursday, March, 13, 2008

An essential skill is learning to communicate effectively. I used to beat around the bush and often find myself circling issues because I did not want to hurt anyone’s feelings.  This practice would usually end up with me being misunderstood. Effective communication not only with others, but with your own self is crucial.  I have a process that helps me to do this.  First, I discuss with my “self” what it is that I want to accomplish. Until I have total support of my “self”, I cannot fulfill my goals.  Once you have 100% commitment from your brain, everything else is icing.  It is just common sense, if I can not even sell it to myself, how could I possibly make anyone else buy it?

Communication is one of the most crucial elements of a successful relationship with your spouse and your children—with everyone actually.  Never stop talking to each other, do not be afraid to speak your mind, and learn to be a respectful listener.
