Unless you’re a hermit, monk, or writing a book, your life is likely filled with conversations.
Looking back, it’s not hard to put the ones you had yesterday (or last week) into three buckets:
- Great
- Not Great
- Don’t Recall
We all have different ideas about what those buckets mean. It’s also true that you and I could have the same conversation, and in the end, I would put it in one bucket, and you would put it in another.
I think we can all move more conversations into the “Great Bucket” if we remember to do three things:
- Open Your Heart
- Listen Hard,
- Wait for the Muse to tell you what to say.
Whatever you think those three ideas mean will be just perfect.
Your open heart creates space.
Listening hard quiets your monkey mind. You’re here to hear.
If you do the first two, the third takes care of itself. You’ll know exactly what to say when it’s your turn.
