Hey mate,
When was the last time you had a REALLY GOOD conversation with someone you love?
You know the kind. A conversation that wasn’t a freaking rerun.
A conversation that required YOU and THEM to show up – just a little bit more. A conversation that gave both you and them priceless gifts – opportunities to discover new levels of you and new levels of them – s0 you both walk away more than you were before.
Make the decision now to never starve you or those around you with “mock conversations” ever again.
It’s time for you to stretch. Let’s begin with having conversations – that stretch you.
If you do a half arsed attempt at this – you’ll be telling those around you “your thoughts and feelings and opinions” that you’ve been hiding away. You’ll sound like a televangelist at best and a madman at worst. Let’s just skip past that “level”. There is no need for those conversations, trust me – odds are they know how you really felt anyway. It’s just that neither you or them wanted to face the truth – so don’t settle for that level. It’s not that new for you, or for them.
Go deeper. Find something new.
I can’t tell you “what” to talk about – to go deeper. I can tell you that when you do “go deeper” you will in the moment make discoveries about you and about those around you that will energize, enlighten and entertain you. And odds are those around you will have a very similar experience. You’ll walk away changed, energized, more alive than ever before.
And everyone will be blessed.
Mr Twenty Twenty
