"The problem with communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished."
George Bernard Shaw
Last night, I was thinking;
Even though it's the unique capability of language(s) that allows us as human beings to alter the course of our lives, expand our boundaries and enhance our relationship(s), for some reason, everything we do, that is truly done, is not often contained "in connected conversation".
Why then, with this powerful tool available, do our lives so often embody such unnecessary conflict, and needless misunderstandings? Sure, the potential for conflict is inherent in every conversation and relationship we participate in, and even loosely, in the use of language itself. And yet, we're still often limited in reaching our full conversational potential by how (or not) effectively we manage life's inevitable conflicts.
Wouldn't just be easier to do as we're asked, willingly and with the real desire to please,
without any struggle, when we know that's the best solution?
Sure, to have misunderstanding is human, but to see what's needed in order to grow, and still not do it, well that helps no one. For me then, it's time to learn to use the power of language to get the most out of our unique potential. Whether it's to bring resolution to a specific conflict we've encountered, or to develop enhanced skills for managing conversations more constructively, my goal this week, is to see how I can more effectively pursue conversations, that lead to peace.
Joy then and the thrill of caring for and about another should instinctively be conflict free.
For without that hallmark within my life, I'm truly unsure how I'd be able to continue moving forward, with or without another in my life!
Share Compassion.
Rejoice in Peace.
Replenish and Enhance.
Love while enabling Love.
Me, I'm traveling this week.
Think kindly of me as I go along the way……....
