"Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life."
Northrup Christiane
I have been asked several times about the underlying purpose of Inviting Conversations. I have posted several questions designed to elicit dialog among thoughtful people. I have received wonderful responses. Yes, part of Inviting Conversations is to start discussions.
Another part of Inviting Conversations is based upon the book Conversations, which I published in 1999. We live in a fast-paced world. The eight-hour work day is long gone for most business professionals. The sit-down dinner meal is a thing of the past. Reality also states that much of our communication is done via phone, fax, email or social media sites. I am not making a judgment statement on any of this. I am simply stating reality. What’s lost then is deep, important conversation. Sometimes it is conversation with someone with whom one hasn’t spoken in years. Sometimes it is conversation with someone who we see every single day.
As many of you have the opportunity to take some time off from your professional obligations to celebrate Thanksgiving, seek out people who mean “the world” to you. Talk with them. If you can, make it a face-to-face conversation. If you can’t, use the phone. Let people you love hear your voice. If something truly wonderful comes out of it, and you are willing to share, send me the story. I am collecting stories to share through Inviting Conversations. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
