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

WOW! I am working a 12 Step program, and just completed a blog entry on the 11th Step, focusing on having conversation with God/Higher Power to get the peace of mind to THINK before responding to others to improve our conversations with others.
Reading your blog entry was perfect, perfect timing, and SO TRUE.
Thank you!
