Hi Neaj … Fab post When it comes to communication, the best skill I’ve learnt is to listen and to connect with the spirit of what is being said … as you said it comes form inside.

I love the speak to (rather than at) and the don’t be a control freak points. They are so important and seem to be the most often over-looked, as well.

Hi Nea,

This is a touching post. We should remember there’s a force within each one of us connecting us. When we aren’t treating others fairly we can’t fool the universe, even if things appear to be a different way on the outside. When you’ve connected with another soul, you’ll Know It.

I enjoyed your perspective. Have a wonderful day

Your response is really on point. It is indeed amazing that we overlook something as important as communication, all the while studying everything else.

If you hate people, you likely hate yourself. I have no tip except to let you know that I hold you in my thoughts with love.

So glad you felt the sincerity in the purpose of this post. We can all be influential to one another with more cooperation and less hidden agendas.

I totally agree with you about having to genuinly care about someone to be able to influence them positively. If you don’t authentically care, they’ll sense it.

When 93% of communication is through means other than words, it is obvious that people are going to notice if you’re not bothered.

The lesson here is to learn to be authentic to yourself. If you don’t care, don’t help. What’s the point, if your effort would only be at 50%?

It’d probably cause more harm than good. Embrace the fact that you need to develop empathy, then come back and help when you’ve gained this.

Much Love
