Whatever you are struggling with right now, don’t give up. It takes time to master anything in life. You want to live a fearless life. You want to master everything in your life. That is not going to happen. You have got to be honest with yourself. You cannot be good at everything in your life. But you can be good at something. Focus on what you are good at. Work hard to develop your weaknesses. We all have them. You are not alone in the game of life.

Give yourself the time you need to master yourself. Because if you can master yourself, you can master anything. To do that, you must first believe in yourself. Don’t ignore your life. Don’t ignore what you are not good at. What you ignore will consume you. If you ignore your fear, it will consume you. If you ignore your weaknesses, they will consume you. It is better to trust yourself than to ignore your life.

“You cannot get competent at something you ignore.”- Dr. Wayne Dyer

Your life cannot get better if you ignore it. Your work cannot get better if you ignore it. When you ignore things, they will ignore you. Don’t ignore what you are not good at, embrace it. Because you cannot get better at what you ignore. Don’t ignore, but work hard to make things better. Let us get to business.

The True Meaning Of Communication

Communication is not what you think it is. It is more than just talking. It is more than just nodding your head. It is more than forcing others to listen to you.

The world is in trouble because people don’t listen anymore. But we want others to listen to us. That is not going to happen. When it comes to communicating with other people, you must learn to listen to them. When you listen to people, you will hear them. They will hear you. But if you REALLY want people to listen to you, you must respect them. You must treat your message with love, happiness, and compassion.

“Communication is- start by understanding- your own understanding about people. Even though you want them to understand you, you know, it is- unless you understand people, it is almost impossible.”

Shunryu Suzuki

Communication is an emotional business. People pay attention to your emotions when you are talking. People pay attention to what you are not telling them. People want to listen to you. But you must make them comfortable.

If you want to be a good communicator, you must be a good listener. Because communication is about listening, not about talking.

The true meaning of communication is understanding. Before you say something, try to understand the true meaning, the hidden meaning of your message. People don’t care about what you say; they care about how you say it. If you want people to listen to you, you must understand them.
