Let’s Talk!
Having conversations with people you see everyday but don’t normally talk to can be extremely fascinating. I know that if I spend at least a good 15 minuets talking to someone about something deeper than the weather I learn a lot about them.
Today I had a great conversation with a neighbor and this was suppose to be a 5 minuet chat that turned into an hour chat. I learned that he enjoys photography, likes history, has his own spiritual views, and learned about the things he thinks he needs to work on in his life. I could tell that the conversation could go on for another hour but I had to cut it off at some point. Regardless the time frame I learned more about my neighbor that I've been living next to for the past year and a half than I had before and it helped me understand him a little better.
In a world where we are suppose to be more connected than ever I believe it’s important to reach out to others. Learn about their lives a little and see who they are on the inside. In a world so focused on cosmetics and merchandise learning to look past some ones belongings and going further than skin deep is the way to really feel connected to someone. Especially in this day and age when we judge others before we really get to know them. Who knows, that guy you’ve seen more than once could have a message to share that could change your out look on something. Or that girl whom you would have never considered talking to may be someone you can totally connect with.
People are interesting because everyone has a story to tell. So I challenge you to put yourself out there and make conversation with other’s. See where it takes you. Who knows what could develop!
