Conversations In The Rough
Every conversation counts. Do you believe that your words can make a difference? Our answer determines the type of relationships that we develop and with whom we develop them. 
There are people around you…everywhere! They stand beside you in the deli line. They pump their gas right next to where you stand to pump yours. They sit in the cubicle right next to yours. Their facebook picture shows up in line with your other 837 favorite friends. They run on the treadmill, dripping sweat just like you, less than 2 feet from where you stride. They eat their meals, many times alone, at the table just adjacent to yours. They stand shoulder to shoulder with you in the elevator. They cling to their mothers legs as she,not distracted, continues to shop. They smile and slightly wave, make eye contact, and quickly move on. They sit in church every Sunday, filling the pews just like you. They cling to their newspapers at the coffee shop just like you. They type away on anything and everything just like you.
Do you ignore them? …or… Do you initiate a conversation with them?
Some people hate to be bothered. Don’t bother with them. But, there are so many people out there, in the world all around yours and mine, that long for interaction. Give it to them. Interact. Conversate. Make a positive connection, no matter how small, and you will change that persons day, maybe even their life. Don’t forget about those around you. Make a difference by simply letting others know that you notice them, show them that you care. Start as many conversations today as you can. Inspire and be inspired. How will you ever be able to meet the needs (being a visionary) of those around you if you never talk to them, get to know them and eventually learn those needs. This will change your life.
