When it comes to listening to yourself, there is no one to blame when bad decisions are made.
You only have yourself to blame. Please study the chart as it will reveal a lot about you and where you are in the grand scheme of things.
I am not pulling any punches with this chart. You want to be above average, you want to be exceptional then start listening and paying attention to yourself. Failing to do so will only lead to your demise.
Again, if you don’t believe me, well, that’s on you!
This week’s CHART focuses on HAVING GREAT CONVERSATIONS
They say SMALL MINDS talk about other People, Average Minds talk about Events and GREAT MINDS talk about IDEAS.
Some of the greatest conversations I have ever had have been about Events and Ideas. The worst conversations I have had the misfortune of being a part of is those when individuals have to talk about others. It leaves me wondering if they can talk about others to me then they must be talking to others about me. I know, I know, those small minds do not know any better.
Sadly, those that exceed at talking about others do so not because of their level of education. I know several very smart, very bright, and highly educated individuals that, at a drop of a hat, dive into the cesspool of talking about others. Even sadder, are those that talking about others it is all they have ever known.
Leaving the temptation of talking about others behind immediately puts you on the trajectory of reaching the high levels of conversations. Delivering on the kinds of conversations that leave people seeking you out in that you not only talk not about others. The conversations you bring to the human interaction are the stuff that people want because it stimulates and intrigues them. It makes others wanting more.
Bring the opposite and others will do all they can to avoid you. As you should do all you can to avoid being in situations where the topic of conversation is others.
Remember, the longer you stick around and listen you rest assured to be mentioned in the next conversation (without you).
This week’s BELL CURVE focuses on BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF
We are all human beings. Yet, we are all very different. But we all have three sides to who we are.
The Public facing side: The side we pridefully show the world. This public facing side is usually facing one way because, heaven forbid others see the rest of who we are. If and when they find out who we are, usually the Public will care as long as it takes for something else to come along and distract them.
The Personal facing side: This is the side we show those close to us. This personal side is usually what we show those we love or keep close. We do so without fear of it being used against us. Yet, there are those occasions where we are either mislead or others collect what we share only to use it as fodder when they
The third side of who we are is our PRIVATE facing side: This is the side what is within us. This side is who we are in our truest form. This private facing side is never revealed, sometimes not even to ourselves. This is called the PRIVATE side for a reason. We all have it. We all live with it. Here in the PRIVATE side resides all our deepest hopes, dreams, fantasies, resentments, and plots of revenge. For most people, that is where they stay.
Many live with all three sides out of balance and broken. They fear truths being revealed. They live in fear and are never happy. Individuals that do not fear being revealed live in balance. A balance that they have nothing to lose by letting in those that mean no harm. A balance by immediately dealing with those that mean them harm.
The balanced life comes from BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF, FIRST!
