Sit back,
read slowly,
absorb the message . . .
and let yourself open . . .
A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty,
He said . . . no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever . . .
and he said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry,
and once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough.
As she walked away,
tears streaming down her face,
the boy grabbed her arm and said . . .
You're not pretty,
you're beautiful.
I don't want to be with you forever,
I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldn't cry if you walked away . . .
I'd die . . . 1
It's not what you say,
it's what people hear . . . 2
Listening is a magnetic and strange thing,
a creative force.
The friends who listen to us
are the ones we move toward.
When we are listened to,
it creates us,
makes us unfold and expand. 3
The single biggest problem in communication
is the illusion
that it has taken place. 4
Our thoughts become our words become our actions become our reality.
It’s that simple.
And that complex.
For example:
Saying something negative about yourself does two things.
1. You come to believe it and thus, live it
And
2. It confuses the heck out of the Universe
- especially if you have been expressing
your desire for the opposite.
Our success depends on our increasing awareness
of how we speak about ourselves.
Rather than expressing a negative thought that pops up,
consider replacing it with a positive affirmation.
Said consistently,
the positive affirmation becomes a belief.
This belief will cause you to act in a certain way.
This new action becomes your *new*,
desired and wired for success,
reality.
So what are you really saying about yourself? 5
There are four ways, and only four ways,
in which we have contact with the world.
We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts:
what we do,
how we look,
what we say,
and how we say it. 6
Communication works for those who work at it. 7
If you just communicate you can get by.
But if you skillfully communicate,
you can work miracles. 8
What we “hear” isn’t always what’s being “said”.
It's not what you say,
it's what people hear
It's not what you own,
it's what you are
It's not who you know,
it's who you Are. 2
Words are, of course,
the most powerful drug used by mankind. 9
Please “hear” what I’m not saying,
to “hear” what I am saying, instead.
