Today's special guest is Veronica Wilson -Listening to what our brains tell us when working, caring for others, or being distracted can be challenging. USA Today says we're so used to multi-tasking that we don't give ourselves space to sit down and reflect. So imagine what happens when you encounter others. Every person you meet will always want to know that they are validated. Did you hear them? Can you see them? Ultimately we all want to know, "AM I OK"? Did you know that how you make others feel about themselves says a lot about you? Do you subscribe to making people feel wanted, loved, and needed, or do you simply subscribe to the fact that you can't change how a person feels, as we often say? Some people make you feel better about living. Some people you meet make you feel little things, and some people just lift in your heart this "Ah" because there's something beautiful, and there's the magic: instead of feeling worse, instead of feeling "why am I so ordinary?", you think just the opposite, you feel glad. Weirdly, you feel better because before this, you hadn't realized or forgotten human beings could shine, so - Niall Williams  This should be our daily goal. To recognize that everyone wants to just feel better. We're messed up because we should be focused on what we can offer, not competing, but service. After all, as I always say, WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN WE ARE DIFFERENT. We don't talk about it, but validation drives nearly everything we do. You see this with people seeking approval and acceptance in conversations, showing off their wealth and accomplishments; they are placing their sense of validation and self-worth in the hands of others and are beholden to them to feel good about themselves. WHAT DO YOU THINK? LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!
