So few people do it and it's so important to a fulfilled life. As you understand yourself better you will understand others better too. As that skill increases, your listening will improve, real listening. If you don't understand where others are coming from your communication will always suffer for it.<br /><br />In my opinion there is always a small piece that you keep to yourself. It's a small piece, but you never can fully trust another person 100%. 95% yes, but not 100.<br /><br />I say this because the other people in your life are not you. There will be a time when their own wants conflict with yours. If you are relying on them to love you like you love yourself problems will eventually hit. It is not possible that they will do so 100% of the time.<br /><br />So once again, it's just a small piece. But for your own sanity and safety I think it needs to be there.<br /><br />I don't know this for certain about you, but I suspect you are not yet up to trusting at a 95% level. So you can continue to work on moving in that direction.<br /><br />If you want to do some communication practice beyond reading and studying, a Toastmasters club might be a cheap investment. If you find a good one it will be a safe and nurturing place to practice.<br /><br />Take care!<br />-- ttToddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957182621464027303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189431758404047291.post-87065758534793141982011-02-23T11:49:02.305-08:002011-02-23T11:49:02.305-08:00Gloria ~ You are an amazing person!!!!Gloria ~ You are an amazing person!!!!Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478052642776881109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189431758404047291.post-63718396542049079372011-02-22T23:09:12.780-08:002011-02-22T23:09:12.780-08:00I believe in you.....I also believe that God is lo...I believe in you.....I also believe that God is love and that he gives me strength.....strength to love myself and share my love with others.....and I love you, dear Gloria.....I believe in you.<br /><br /><3 CarrieLove, Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04821750877335300342noreply@blogger.com
