When are the times that you feel most special? If you look back throughout the week and or past few months I bet the times that you have remembered is when you have been with someone 1-1 and you felt like you were the most amazing person on the planet. Why were you feeling like that? I believe it is simply because you were being listening to on a deeper level.
Level 1 thinking is the general thinking and idle chit chat that is used int he cafe etc. This is fine for many of our conversations. At this level the mind is thinking of how to reply, whats for lunch, what clothing they are wearing. The inward chatter is very loud and can distract us from solely focusing on the other person.
Level 2 is where we are more tuned into the other person. We are noticing their body language, things they refer to without stating it. It is a place where their voice is louder than the chatter in our mind and they are becoming more of the focus.
Level 3
This is were we focus solely on the other person. We are in tune with them. Our total focus inward and outward is on them. They feel like they are the most important person in the world. This week I challenge you to reflect on what depth of thinking you are displaying?
Are you moving through the different levels or are you always at 2-3?
Remember there is a time and place for all 3. Its just a matter of being aware of what we are doing and noticing how we can adapt to the different environments we encounter.
Till next time.

Opportunity
Every day we are greated with an opportunity. We have a choice of either to pursue these or ignore and carry on with the same old same old and wonder why we are still in the same place as we were last week, last month and before we know it last year. Just because something may appear as a road block to our path way, it in fact may be an opportunity. We are either sitting and waiting for life to happen but hopefully you are out there making it happen. Every day we have the choice to make a walk happen, make the apple into our lunch, make the walk to the work place rather than driving to the door. Every decision we make is either moving us closer to or further away from our chosen desination...it is your opportunity with every decision.
