Conversation

Most of life is a conversation. You are speaking, asking, responding, yelling, whispering -- you are engaging with people, animals, businesses, organizations -- others in life. And you get to choose the tenor and mean of the conversation. How will it go? You get to decide by what you say. What you say is largely determined by how you listen, what you hear, how you interpret what you hear, what you believe about what you hear. So, next time you are in a conversation, listen carefully and reflect before you respond. The spoken word is very powerful. It is creative. Help with a kind word. Uplift with an inspiring word. And, those other, not nice words -- banish them from your speech. Think before you speak. Think about the outcome you want from the conversation. What are you giving? That will determine what you will get back. Have a good conversation. Make someone happy today! Life coaching is a conversation and life coaching can help you have many good conversations in life. Happiness to you today and always. Coach Paula

Don't Be Swayed from Your Goals -- Rabbi Zeli Pliskin

#259 Don't Be Swayed From Your Goals
Be crystal clear on your main goals in life. Then, when a situation arises that might disturb your peace of mind, ask yourself, "How does this impact those goals?"

When you realize this present situation does not have a major effect on what is really important, the problem will shrink in significance and your peace of mind will be restored.

Try it today. -- Rabi Zelig Pliskin
