Exchanging ideas

What do you think?
Is this a good idea?
Only if you're interested.
Otherwise it's a pain.
We have to ask to find out.
Unless information is offered unsolicited.
Then we still have to decide whether or not to accept it.

Be open only if you feel like it.

There's no need to be polite!
You may already be full to over-flowing.
Check it out ... inside ...
And refuse involvement unless you genuinely are interested.
Who knows where this new person or idea might lead?
Be sure you can respond authentically before being called upon to do so!
Then enjoy the moment!

Open to new ideas?

Are you truly interested in the views and attitudes of others?
There's a lot of them!
Does it feel good to continue exploring new ideas?
Before deciding about 'old' ones?
What do you believe?
Why?
Do your beliefs still serve you well?

Give yourself the gift of attention!

Giving attention to others is often easier than giving attention to ourselves.
Be curious and interested in what is really going on for you?
Ask yourself ... "How are you?"
... "What are you doing?"
... "Where is it taking you?"
... "Who benefits? Who gets hurt?"
Relax. You have my attention. This time is yours!
