How often have you been called by friends to tell you about a big problem they have?
How often during any conversation a friend has told you how he would like things to be different? About the things he doesn't like about his life or circumstances? And that comes combined with some feelings of frustration, distress, worriness, etc.
How often have you started a casual conversation in a public place and gotten engaged into critics of politicians, listings of how polluted the world is and other low-vibrating feeds.
As a listener, you react in different ways during the interaction, sometimes cheering up, sometimes with empathy and sometimes talking about your own frustration.
How do you feel when you go away?
..., yeah :(
What happens when you meet someone who has just arrived from a wonderful trip and tells you all the exciting experiences he had, the wonderful people they met, the new places they knew and the awesome stuff they bought? How do you feel when you go away from that meeting?
Or when a friend tells you how he has just been unexpectedly promoted?
Or met the love of his life around the corner?
..., yeah!:)
Now, what experience do you have more often? The first or the second?
OK, and what kind of stuff do YOU share with your friends and people you find in your daily life? The good or the bad stuff?
A person I love told me not long ago: "People are quite selfish about sharing their happiness but quite democratic in the distribution of their miserableness".
Well this post is an invitation to those of you who can realise the difference in the effect you cause to turn that equation around and make a change in our listeners' moods, vibrations and therefore lives. I'm inviting you (and myself) to be generous and cause a good effect. This alone could change the world! (Nope, I know what you're thinking... I don't have plans to become Miss Universe, though my beauty of course would enable me to get there!).
Communication is something that happens between Person A and Person B. Something said by Person A is received by Person B who reacts, and so on. The generosity I'm talking about will without any doubt, in this model, have an influence in yourself too! Because that's how it works in interaction.
So: Be generous and be selfish. Combine the two and go talk about the good stuff!
P.S. I want to send a special thanks to generous people I know, who always share their good stuff. Thanks Jordan. Thanks Gary. Thanks Aaron. Thanks Thea. Thanks Carolina. Thanks Pedro. Thanks mum. You are a source of inspiration. Thank you for that and for giving me the possibility to enjoy your happiness with you.
