One Thing You Can Do To Set You Apart
Published: Thu, 04/27/17
Not your page. The newsfeed. What all your
"friends" are saying.
Take the first 20 posts.
See how many times people are talking about
what's going on with themselves.
Now see how many times they're asking others
about themselves.
And no, silly questions designed to get responses
in order to increase Edgerank don't count.
Now look at the comments in those posts.
Most of those pivot to what the commenter is
up to, not what the person who made the post
in the first place is doing.
Get it?
Most people are so used to talking about
themselves, they've forgotten how to fully
listen to what someone else is saying.
It's the usual conversation pattern. One person
stays (mostly) silent and pretends to listen
while the other person talks.
Then the other talks about his or her deal,
barely acknowledging what the first person said.
The Dance Of The Deaf, as I like to call it.
If you don't care about how much influence you
have with people, I suppose it doesn't matter.
But just about everyone I know, especially those
who are looking to build a business or advance
in their careers...they do care.
And if you're not present, if you're not listening...
If you give the message you're too interested
in your own self to be around for others...
No one is going to trust you with their hopes
or dreams.
Certainly not with their mone*y.
No, I haven't always been good at listening.
There have been many times I put my own
needs, my own hurt, my own desire to feel
important ahead of being fully present.
I'm not proud of that.
I am proud of getting better at it.
That's about taking a healing journey
and getting more at peace with myself...
and with others with whom I've had conflict.
That made it easier to listen, and to understand
what people want.
And help them get it.
If you want to score in business, or in your career.
Or in relationships...either current ones or healing
pain from the past...
Be the one who says, "you" more than the one
who says, "I."
Try it online.
And during in person conversations.
See how it impacts those around you.
See how much better you feel.
See if the quality of your life isn't that much better.
Yeah, it's part of Release The Hounds.
And Mind Intensive.
And even the T3 Method.
I'm off to do some very important and rewarding
work today, with a group of people who aren't
heard often enough.
I trust in your ability to be a healing force in
someone else's life. And in your own.
Much Love,
Larry
