Words Of Wisdom

Wisdom is when you reach higher, into the realms of consciousness and spiritto access a greater understanding of what's occurring in life.There are many things that trigger wisdom. Wisdom can come to you in words, pictures and colors~A wide variety of stimulus~ that triggers wisdom.

Embracing wisdom~is the first step in becoming a co-creator~to the world around you~Imaging yourself helping to create a new worldbased upon the wisdom of love, healing and compassion~Imagine people putting down their weapons, and seeing their so-called enemies for the first time as their brothers and sisters.Imagine this light quenching the fires of rage within each and every heart.

We have been brain washed to believe we are a powerless people and so many are awakening to the skills of Empowerment and also searching for answers and clues to their Higher or Divine Being.

Religion is a major structure of disempowering the people.and installing fear into the heart and mind thru manipulative brain washing and control.But the energies are rising and the earth mother groans under the weight of mis-abuse of her precious resources God's holy energy.The world's system that revolves around a material based structure of organized government is slowly crumbling~and the true people of light~ are now slowly returning~they are the ones who will step powerfully into the knowledge and wisdom of their ancient ancestral memories.

And they are the ones who will lead the people~ back to their heart energy. Back to the healing that must take place. There are many spiritual teachers and leaders who carry forth a higher level of truth.These beloved teachers are the ones who have embraced the powerful knowledge and wisdom of their ancient ancestral memories.They are the ones who will lead the people~back into their heart energy.Back to the healing that must take place~Healing of our beloved Earth Mother and all our relations~Many of these way showers, lightworkers and spiritual warriors have spent their entire lifetimes~searching, teaching, waiting~and hiding in the outskirts of humanity~ Waiting and searching for the wakeup call~The awakening process is faster for some~and slower for others who have become stuck within the illusion of the material world. But we are all evolving in ourown unique ways.We are the flowers that are turning into fruit of the Divine~Wisdom and knowledge are birthing forth a new way to survive~The energy that is coming to earth and to every single one of us, is coming to serve the greater good of the whole and to those of us who are being called to service,to serve humanity, it is our responsibility to share the unique gifts and talents that each of us has been given~To share the wisdom, to share our stories~ to share our prayers~to share our music~to share the love and truth that we hold for humanity~There will come to be~many messengers of the sacred and holy truth~Many warriors will join in the movement of light move into that which is sacred and holy~Seeking the wholeness of Spirit~is seeking and embracing Spiritual growth~ and acknowledging that you are a Divine Being of Light~Wholeness of spirit reflects forms of Empowerment~Connecting into your Spirit helps to reflect the creative potentialof your true God Reality~The Spirit of your Soulis apart of Creator~Explandant in the beauty of the Divine~Pull the energy into your body~Align with the Power Point~of your true God Reality~True wisdom reveals itself to those who take a few moments each day to sit in quiet reflection away from the hustle and bustle of busy thoughts and activities.

We are what we focus upon and what we think.With our thoughts, we make our world.With our thoughts we can heal our world all it takes is focus, determination and will power~All number of things that we can create~We can manifest a world of love and light or stay in tuned with all the negativity that plagues our world just like a disease.Consciousness is part of a dynamic dance of cosmic energy~you must incorporate the new dance of energyinto your physical, mental, and emotional vehicles.Each of you is apart of this massive dance of energy~ This dance of energy is shedding seeds of cosmic awareness~And it is providing you with seeds of change~learn how to fertilize these seeds of thought~within your own mind.

You have all the tools and resources you need.What you do with them is up to you.The choice is yours.

Your answers lie within you.The answers to life's questions lie within you.All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.If you wish to eliminate fear, concentrate on courage.If you wish to eliminate lack, concentrate on abundance.If you wish to eliminate disease, concentrate on health stop focusing on any negativity that you may be holding~Begin to trust the passion that you feel.Begin to listen to the whispers of your soul and take small steps forward towards the goal and purpose of spiritual evolvement~Begin to claim the gifts of divine guidance that will help you begin to fulfill your destiny and your purpose~Begin to tap into the stream of love and intelligence that will direct you to the prosperity that you deserve~Begin to act upon the inner guidance that you receive.

Begin to align your mind with the mind of Divine Creation~You are the mysteryEmbrace that sacred mystery.You are the journey~Embrace that sacred journey~We are the flowers turning into fruit of the Divine~Wisdom and knowledge are birthing forth a new way to survive~A new way to shine~The energy that is coming to earth and to every single one of us, is coming to serve the greater good of the whole and to those of us who are being called to service,to serve humanity~it is our responsibilityto share the unique gifts and talents that each of us has been given~To share the wisdom, to share our stories~to share our prayers~to share our music~Make a commitment to take a few minutes each day in the coming week for solitary reflection.

Realize that nothing is by chance, that you have certain lessons to learn and that the situation you are in has been given to you to enable you to learn those lessons as quickly as possible, so that you can move onward and upward along your spiritual path.

THE SIMPLE LIFE

Don't you think the world went and got way too complicated? Just think about it.


Five or more days of the week we all have to work at a job that we may not particularly enjoy. We have to pay taxes, save for retirement, and abide by countless laws. Because of the way humanity has been structuring the world, we need to do this for our survival. The complication of the world has affected the things we most value, our freedom and overall happiness in life.

Everyday new fashion and technological advancements are introduced to us. They are then integrated into our lives and presented to us in a way that boosts our desire for them. Many people feel that as long as we are moving forward in technology it is a good thing, however, few ever question the necessity of these things in our lives.

If we have been living without many of these things for such a long time, why do we suddenly must have the latest item on the market?

Stuck in a state of materialism and consumerism, many people don't realize their desire for these things have been limiting their freedom. It takes money to obtain all the material things that we want, and so we have to give up much of our free time by working for someone to earn it.

The sad part about all of this is that we often spend most of our time trying to obtain and maintain these material things than we actually do enjoying them. We unconsciously become slaves to the very material objects we are striving to acquire. This leads to all sorts of unhappiness and stress that can shorten lives.


But what is the root cause of the materialism, consumerism and parasitism that is complicating our world? I believe it is the great desire for money and the practice of extreme capitalism. While money serves as a means of exchange, the increased want for it is what leads to the various methods humans have created for obtaining it.

This results to capitalizing on everything imaginable, including people's lives. These two elements have even complicated simple aspects of our lives such as love relationships. Nowadays you can't have romance without finance.

Now because our world has been complicated in so many ways, it is very difficult for a person to separate him or herself from it all if he or she wishes to do so. There are several basic physiological and safety needs that must be satisfied by having a home, food on your plate, and clothes on your back.

Due to the use of money and practice of capitalism these things are not easy to obtain and we are forced to participate in a system that has diminished our quality of life on several different planes. If humanity did not complicate the world so much, we would be able to live simpler lives filled with a greater level of happiness than we presently experience.

"LIVE YOUR DREAM"

A dream won't do much for you until you do something for it. Yet the moment you begin to take action, that dream starts to become real.

It may very well take years to accomplish. Long before it is accomplished, though, it is adding value to your life.

For the value of your dream is not in possessing whatever it brings. The value is in reaching for it.

The value is in what you do to get yourself there. Because in that process, you fulfill your own unique destiny.

Right this very moment, you can reach out and touch the reality of your most treasured dream. That's because right this moment, you can act on that dream.

If you've been waiting, you've waited long enough. Today is the day to truly live your dream."LIVE YOUR DREAM" =)

Dreams become reality when you want, its up to you and nobody else to make those dreams come true, don't ever let someone tell you that you can't do something, instead let that push you harder to accomplish that dream.-Tommy Cupples

Things We Can't Control

The idea of trusting the universe is a popular one these days, but many of us don’t know what this really means and we often have a hard time doing it. This is partly because the story of humankind is most often presented as a story about struggle, control, and survival, instead of one of trust and collaboration with the universe. Yet, in truth, we need to adhere to both ideas in this life.

On the one hand, there is much to be said about exerting control over our environment. We created shelter to protect ourselves from the elements. We hunted for animals and invented agriculture to feed ourselves. We built social infrastructures to protect ourselves and create community. This is how we survive and grow as a civilization. However, it is also clear that there are plenty of things that we cannot control, no matter how hard we try, and we often receive support from an unseen force – a universe that provides us with what we cannot provide for ourselves.

It is a good idea to take responsibility for the things in life that we can control or create. We work so we can feed, clothe, and shelter our loved ones and ourselves. We manifest our dreams and visions in physical form with hard work and forethought. But at a certain point, when have done all that we can, we must let go and allow the universe to take over. This requires trust.

It requires a trust that runs deeper than just expecting things to turn out the way we want them to. Sometimes they will, and sometimes they won’t. We develop equanimity and grace as we learn to trust that, with the guiding hand of the universe, life will unfold exactly the way it should. We are engaged in an ongoing relationship with a universe that responds to our thoughts and actions.

The Real Beauty Tips

"Time Tested Beauty Tips"

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone...
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed and redeemed...
Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands.
One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

True beauty comes from within". Such a cliche' quote, but isn't it true. Anyone who's ever worked in customer service could testify to the validity of that quote. There was a time when I worked the refund desk at a retail outlet, and let me tell you...someone could be drop dead gorgeous. I would be all excited to help this beautiful person...then her true self would rise up!

I don't care how beautiful she is on the outside, enduring five minutes of a haughty, arrogant, cursing prima donna is enough to make any fairy tale princess uglier than the proverbial frog that she kissed in the first place!



When you are truly beautiful on the outside and the inside...well, that's a combination that can't be beat!

"The Best Revenge"

“The Best Revenge”

Unfinished,
As time goes on
(The business)
Will fade to black.
Heartbroken
(The Self) will mend.
Time still goes on, revenged or not~

Forgiveness,

The greatest key
To a heart
Broken in this

Reality,

Finally Free
Of chains that bind, a Release~

Love, kindness--
The best revenge.

Karma will
Be it's own fire,
Heaped upon
Their precious heads...

Moving forward- don't look back~

I'm Not That Girl

I won't be that girl



I don't want this to end.
This.
Whatever this is...


Everything happened exactly how it was supposed to.
Slowly.
Cautiously.
Moderately.
Safely.


I was so careful with you.
I followed all of the rules that society has set for us.
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
It isn't about the other girls.
I knew all along.
Just like you knew.
It was about being treated equally.
Having the same privileges.
Not having to hide my existance.
For once in my life, I stand up for myself.
What do I get?
"I'm upset for no reason."
"I'm being so immature."
"I'm acting like a child."
"I'm just so stupid."
Right?
Wrong.
I won't be that girl.
The girl that hides in the shadows.
Waiting...
Waiting...
Contemplating...

Wasting her life away waiting on you.
I won't be that girl.
I could very easily get you back.
You're only a phone call away.
But I refuse to do that.
I am not in the wrong here.
I've looked at it from every angle.
And...
I
didn't
do
this.


To say that my heart's broken would be an understatement.
Nothing can be healed if you keep it covered up.


Well, I let my wounds out in the open and now they're infected.
I've ripped off the bandaid and it's completely in your hands now.

I won't go back on the promise I made to myself.
I won't beg for you to fix me.
I won't change my mind.
I won't wait for you.
I won't be that girl.

The State Of Ignorance

Disclaimer: This is not directed at any one person. More like the human race as a whole.

I have no hope for the human race. Intellectualism is dying. Nobody thinks anymore, they just merely cry with outrage at anything that makes their lives even remotely uncomfortable. Pleasure, that’s all this generation cares about. Whatever can make their lives easier. They don’t pay attention to the issues of the world, just what’s going to make them the happiest.

Each generation seems to be less intelligent then the one before it, less able to think for itself, more ignorant of the world around it. You can see it every day. Each freshman class that has come after mine seems to be worse than the last.

For example, my AP Literature teacher also teaches normal freshman classes. Looking at the way they paraphrase the works of Shakespeare are simply embarrassing. It’s clear they gave no effort at all into the thought of the greatest literary genius of all time. One of them even spelt Shakespeare and person wrong. Then refused to correct it when they were told the right way to spell it.

A Recipe Of A New You

Many people claim that they have the key to success in life, and if you follow their simple formula your problems will just disappear. Yet how many of them actually give you the results you are looking for? Following a new path can lead you only as far as you're willing to go with it, but eventually if the underlying problem isn't corrected and instead masked by other things, you'll regress.

However, we all have what it takes to make a permanent change in our lives. The ingredients are inside us and accessible. Anyone is able to transform themselves with enough know-how.

WHAT A TRUE FRIEND IS

Thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes about what a true friend is....

"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words"

"A real friend is the one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"

"What is a friend? It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself."

"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly"

"In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends" (this is good and I can relate to it..I've had people who are around when things are going well, but disappear when I am going through tough times and need a friend to lean on)

"A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be somewhere else"

"Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel that you've done a permanent job"

"When it hurts to look back, and you're too scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there"

"My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me"

A Good Woman

A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable or articulating her needs. A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears. A good woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the full potential God gave them. A good woman knows her past, understands the present and move towards the future. A good woman knows God. She knows with God the world is her playground, but without God She will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of her future because of her past. Instead,she understands that her life experiences merely lessons, meant to bring her closer to self knowledge and unconditional self love.

The Truth Behind The Smile

Behind my smile

People in my life lately always want to know why i'm so happy or curious as to why I look for the best in everything ...Behind My Smile.Well I have had my fair share of mistakes like everyone else and I am far from perfect but I am learning and growing each day. I realized the importance to me in life is to truly follow my heart and surround my self with great people.I like to have that karisma around me that way people can always remember that glow. I also came to the realization I want to be a true leader not a follower and impact people/ the world in a beautiful way. I value my health, faith , motherhood and helping others as far as donating my time to charities or where ever I can make a small difference; a helping hand never hurt anyone. The small things in life are too often over looked when really they are some times the most important . Cherish your health don't take life for granted . Live, Love, Learn, forgive you will find your heart and eventually You will find clarity/truth because you are the only one that has to look your self in the mirror each day. I found my self or I should say I am still seeking my self not only through life experience's but I actually sat down and wrote my own obituary scary thought kinda morbid..But it makes you realize how you want to be remembered. We all have an inner beauty in us so let it shine.

MIND BODY & SOUL

True Friend Is Rare To Find

What makes a true friend?

Ok, this blog took a lot of time and effort, thanks to all of you who helped with your input and thoughts:

Kayla, Kristin, Shannon, Gorilla, Sherri, Jay, Trey and Lover Lovingston.

What makes a good friend to me??

This was a hard question for me to answer and I want to pose this question to all of you at the end here....



In my eyes a real friend is tried and true. They are there when you need someone to talk to and they understand your feelings or at the very least act understanding even when they don't understand fully. They sympathize with you and they always take your feelings into consideration. They understand that things in your life need to be accomplished as well as they would take care of their own things. They don't get angry or mad if you have something important that needs to be done before all else. They will not talk about you in public and they will always have your back.

A good friend will offer you advice and stand by your side even if they do not agree with the decisions you may make. A good friend will offer encouragement and offer prayers or good thoughts/words to help you through a situation.

A good friend will call you when they know you are having a bad day to make sure you are ok, to do the best they can to offer a shoulder or an ear. A good friend will not only think of themselves, but always take care of themselves...you can't be a good friend to someone, that offers good advice, if you aren't all together yourself...

A good friend will laugh at you AND with you, they will tell you when you mess up or they may keep their thoughts to themselves, but either way, they'll love you regardless of your failures or decisions. They'll question your thoughts, beliefs or feelings, to make sure you think from all angles, not just to be an ass. They may say something you don't like to hear or don't want to hear, but they do it in YOUR best interests.

A true friend will never be offended by another friend’s advice or questions…maybe if there was an offense taken it was only because it was the truth and it made them mad to hear it said aloud, maybe it only reconfirmed their fears. True friends don’t say those things out of spite, but out of looking after the ones they care about and protecting the ones they love.

Real friends don’t publicly fault their friends. They are grown up and can act mature enough to handle things like an adult. A real friend doesn’t stab you in the back when you are only trying to be helpful. A real friend won’t ignore you over something trivial and insignificant.

A real friend will understand your need to take care of the things in your life above all else. If they are a real friend they won’t fault you for taking a few minutes to get something important taken care of. They will understand and still be there once you have taken care of necessary business.

A real friend will sense when there is something wrong in your attitude or personality, they will call you up to see if you are ok, they will send you a message saying that “I’ll be there for you, when you want to talk.”

A real friend will not do something to help you out, then turn around and use it against you. Especially when the action that supposedly helped you was not one that you had even asked them for.

They let you have space, but don’t let you go too far from their sight. They keep you in mind and always have your best interests at heart. They understand that your family will always come before them and are not selfish in their desire to take up all of your time and energy. They appreciate the efforts you make at friendship, even if you are not able to lend out hours of your time at the time they need you.

There are exceptions to this of course. If a friend is in a car wreck or tragically ill and on their deathbed, then yes, a real friend will put their life on hold to help the other one make it through and cope. They will drop it all and give everything they have towards making the friend's situation more comfortable or tolerable. However, if it is the same situation over and over again, for example an asshole significant other or a drug problem, then the friend in need should understand that the things in your life will take importance over their matters at hand. It doesn’t mean you don’t care, it just means you have to take care of something, you WILL get back to their problems as soon as you can, but experiencing the same problem over and over because you don’t want to change things only means one thing…insanity.

"PROMISES"

Promises are easily made. Keeping them often proves more difficult because when we are pressured to strive always for perfection, we find it simpler to agree to undertake impossible tasks than to say no.

Likewise, there is an infinite array of circumstances that conspire to goad us into telling falsehoods, even when we hold a great reverence for truth. When you endeavor to consistently keep your word, however, you protect your reputation and promote yourself as someone who can be trusted to be unfailingly truthful.

Though your honesty may not always endear you to others—for there will always be those who fear the truth—you can nonetheless be certain that your integrity is never tarnished by the patina of deceit. Since frankness and sincerity form the basis of all life-enriching relationships, your word is one of your most precious and powerful possessions.

When we promise more than we can deliver, hide from the consequences of our actions through falsehoods, or deny our true selves to others, we hurt those who were counting on us by proving that their faith was wrongly given. We are also hurt by the lies we tell and the promises we break. Integrity is the foundation of civilization, allowing people to live, work, and play side by side without fear or apprehension.

As you cultivate honesty within yourself, you will find that your honor and reliability put people at ease. Others will feel comfortable seeking out your friendship and collaborating with you on projects of great importance, certain that their positive expectations will be met. If you do catch yourself in a lie, ask yourself what you wanted to hide and why you felt you couldn’t be truthful.

And if life’s surprises prevent you from keeping your word, simply admit your error apologetically and make amends quickly. Since the path of truth frequently represents the more difficult journey, embarking upon it builds character.

You can harness the power of your word when you do your best to live a life of honesty and understand what motivates dishonesty. In keeping your agreements and embodying sincerity, you prove that you are worthy of trust and perceive values as something to be incorporated into your daily existence.

Believe In Your Dreams

Visualize Your Dreams, Plans, Hopes............

It doesn't hurt to dream......to make plans.......set goals. I am puting this down in writing so that we all can share.I believe in visualization. If anyone has read the book, "The Secret", you will know the power. Many of us have known about it prior to the book, but have not made a constant practice of it. Simply, it is the power of POSITIVE THINKING.I've known the practice since I was a child. (Thank you, Mother.) Much of what I read from the book was "common knowledge". SO WHY IS IT SO HARD TO DO?A number of years ago, I knew I had nothing to lose......... I would go to bed and lay out a visualization of having my own little baby girl. Larry and I had been told we'd never be able to have our own. Frankly, it was FUN to fantasize. I visualized many dozens of times as I fell asleep at night.Then, it came true. Very similarly to my "dream". My next visualization was a house and lots of property........... This time I wasn't specific. All I knew was that I wanted us to SIMPLIFY. And we did.Today, we are in a simple farm house with lots of land.............and now I am visualizing AGAIN.My best time is at night while going to sleep..........but other people tell me they are better with writing down their goals and even finding pictures to represent them so they can put them up on their Fridge (or wherever).

A Woman BY Example

a good woman

good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs. A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears. A good woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them. A good woman knows her past, understands her present and moves toward the future. A good woman knows God. She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons, meant to bring her closer to self knowledge and unconditional self love.

Be Healed By Faith

The healing power of faith.

Visit this link for a short story on the power of faith, before reading the rest of this blog.

So. . .I am not being sarcastic with the title of this blog. I'm pointing out that the actual healing power of faith is, as the family in the above listed article found out the hard way, actually zero - nil, nada, nothing.

Some of you might suggest that "God won't save you from your foolishness". So: God loves you so much that he'd let his only son die for your sins, but if you do something stupid, you're on your own? You know you don't believe that.So how to explain this apparent discrepancy?Let me be as blunt as I can: If God exists, he doesn't help anyone with anything. There are no exceptions, not you or anyone.

Confirmation Bias:Faith-based healing is an excercise in confirmation bias. Simply put: Confirmation bias is when a person wants or believes something to be true, and so considers only the evidence that supports their conclusion.

Consider the following statement: 'It's a MIRACLE! Man saved is Tsunami! Praise God!' We might look at the sole survivor or a tragedy as some kind of miracle. But think about it a little more. Let's suppose 50,000 people drowned in that Tsunami. 50,000 thousands lives ended horribly.

Are you really prepared to celebrate the compassion and grace of God, because one person survived? That's what confirmation bias allows us to do. We don't see 50,000 bloated corpses, we see the smiling face of a man who believes he was "saved", and we want to be that man. You remember his face, and not the faces of the dead.

Finally, let's discuss confirmation bias in the other direction. Suppose I want to be right about the content of this blog. Could I be ignoring evidence of faith-based healing to support my conclusions? I do not believe so.

Here is why: There are millions of personal tragedies every year. MILLIONS. They happen so often as to be commonplace. In fact, when someone appears to have experienced a MIRACLE.

It is ONLY miraculous in light of the fact that most of the time a tragedy would have occured in their situation.

Shall we try to claim that God picks and chooses from the millions of tragedies each year and averts a few dozen, or a few hundred?

Stop lying to yourself.

Be consistent and reasonable in what you believe.

How to win others,Learn to appreciate them

Life should not be a race. Let's try to make it a Journey of Love, Peace & Harmony…

"Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people."

If practised, this could be one of the most life-changing pieces of advice. In any relationship, whether it's a spouse, child, client, colleague, or casual acquaintance, the best way to make a lasting impression is to take the time to make others feel genuinely valued.

Here are four tips to help you make others feel more important.

1. Greet everyone you meet with enthusiasm. Have you ever called someone on the telephone - or met them somewhere -- and they greeted you with such energy and enthusiasm that you felt they must truly adore you? A greeting of ardent and genuine enthusiasm sets the tone for your entire encounter.

It's such a simple skill (the hardest part is remembering to do it) but if you CAN remember, it will enliven all of your relationships. This skill can be particularly life-changing when practiced with your children. A simple show of enthusiasm and appreciation when a child walks in the room can have a miraculous effect on the relationship.

2. Slow down. Take the time in conversation to really listen. While someone is talking, focus on taking in what he or she is saying in words, tone, and body language instead of thinking about what you are going to say next.

Relax and listen before responding. As you practice this form of deep listening, work on identifying the other person's needs. Put your own needs aside during the conversation and focus on determining what *they* need today. Imagine that each encounter is like a brief interlude in what may otherwise be a hectic day. Slow down and savour the connection you can make with another person, even in a casual conversation.

3. Work on remembering the details of past conversations and encounters.

Ask about the things they confided to you. How did her business presentation go? How is his ailing father? It's often helpful to make little notes to remind you to ask about something or someone the next time you meet. This simple skill shows people that they are important to you.

4. Appreciate the small things that people do for you and never pass up an opportunity to say thank you. It doesn't have to be anything fancy...a few kind words or even a simple note is plenty. Find simple and small ways to show appreciation and caring to those you love. Maybe it's bringing home take-out when your spouse has been home all day with a sick child. Maybe it's making a quick phone call to your mother. As you go through your day, be thinking of how you can take a step toward recognition and appreciation.

When you make the people around you feel important, you create a climate of trust and mutual appreciation, which can change your life in ways large and small. Try it today.

Remember:

people will forget what you said ...

people will forget what you did ...

but people will never forget how you made them feel ...
