Great Conversations
Over the last several weeks, I've had some great conversations. What makes a great conversation? They're the ones where you grow and learn. The ones that feel so authentic where everybody is opening up. They aren't surface level, they go deep. One great, open-ended question leads to another, weaving together an immersive experience. An amazing conversation is life-changing.
It's not often you get to have a truly raw, meaningful conversation. It takes the right people, the right time, the right place, and more. It all needs to line up. Our daily lives are busy, so deep conversations aren't as easy to come by. You need to have the ability and time to sit there and talk for a long period to have a chance at entering a great conversation.
It's obvious when you're in one. You don't want it to end. It has been going on for many hours yet there's no end in sight. Quickly, the clock hits 2, 3, 4 in the morning. It's heartbreaking for it to forcefully end, because you don't know when the next one will be. Strive to experience these feelings. You won't be the same person.
Now how can we put ourselves in the position to enter the great conversation gateway? It starts with people. You need great people. People you feel comfortable with. The ones where you mesh together perfectly. Everybody brings their own unique thoughts and perspectives, and they seamlessly combine together to bring to life a great conversation.
The beauty are these can be one on one or group settings. Great conversations don't discriminate. The gateway is always open, we just get to enter every so often. Put yourself in positions to enter. Talk with great people. Meet new people. Have blocks of time to just chat. It will all be worth it. A great conversation is life-changing. Never forget that.
