Communication

When you complain or argue, how often do you actually address the real issue? If you’re honest and take time to look deeper, I bet you find that you seldom express the real problem. Most of us communicate in code because we’re too afraid or too hurt to stay honest in our arguments.

If you handled each situation in your life as it came up, the need for argument would diminish significantly. If you didn’t feel afraid or hurt, what would you say differently in your relationships that currently have conflict?

The Price of Freedom

We often hear the phrase “the price of freedom,” and it’s usually associated with veterans or countries fighting for democracy. Have you ever asked yourself, “What price am I willing to pay for my personal freedom?”

What are you willing to sacrifice to know who you are? What are you worth? How much time are you willing to spend in a training room or with a coach? How much are you willing to invest to continue to educate yourself or to open up your feelings?

When you come to your final day, you’ll definitely be out of time. What will be the sum of your life? Will you have spent your time and money for freedom–freedom from regret? Start today to live life to the fullest!

I Go – You Go – Ego

Have you ever been in an argument that escalates and, at some point, you just want it to end because it’s not worth the energy it takes to be right? You may have the urge to apologize, but you feel like it’s not your fault or your turn.

Do you find that you keep score? As long as it’s your turn, you apologize: “I go.” If you think it’s not your turn, then the other person must go: “You go.” My guess is that often you think it’s their turn to apologize and they think it’s your turn. Checkmate: “Ego.”

If there is one loser in a relationship, you really don’t have a winner. When given the opportunity, drop the “I,” “You” and “E” and just “go.” Go ahead and apologize. Do what’s best for the relationship!

Dreams

When you lose your dreams, you lose your way. Imagine packing your car and leaving for a two-week vacation without a destination. Unless your vacation plan was to wander aimlessly, you’d probably become frustrated pretty quickly.

Life is the same way. When you don’t have a dream, you’ll find that your activities often feel aimless. If you have a dream, you have a direction. Even when you get off-track, you can adjust because you know your ultimate destination.

All of us deserve a dream, a vision and a purpose. Is it time to explore your dream?
