Take a chance on People

take a chance on people

friends and strangers

treat them as if you already accept everything about them 

and watch how they transform before your very eyes 

rewarding you with their smiles and humanity

-B.C.

When two people engage, majority of the time both are wondering if they are making good impressions.

This distracting concern will only pull you further away from connection and fellowship. 

Instead look into their eyes with a smile that spreads from your lips to your heart. Simply listen to them. See every word as it floats into the space between you two. In this way you can not miss the precious present moment which is the Only Real Thing you can share with someone else. 

Remember : 

People don't converse to listen, they converse to be listened to. Try listening twice as long as you speak and you will not only get to know the other person deeper, but will learn more about yourself; which, according to the wisest men in history, is the most valuable thing one can Pursue in life.
