Communication (cont.)
Here are some more common reasons for blocks to communication:
* Lack of sincerity. When our thoughts and feelings are honest and respectful,
then the hearts of others will open to us. A positive highway of trust is built
and communication flows positively.
* Creating negative perceptions (understandings) and emotions about others
i.e. how we visualize or label them. Such emotions, no matter how well hidden, are
finally always communicated to others on a subtle (non-physical), non-verbal level,
and create an atmosphere of tension and unease.
* Not letting go of negative perceptions (understandings) and emotions. The
only method to revive our relationship with others is to let go of negativity on
a daily basis, to prevent it from building up. Far too often, the build-up happens
without us even noticing it and, we wonder why positive feedback is not coming from
the other side.
* Lack of silence. To go deep into the self and put our thoughts and feelings
into silence enables them to become positive. The silent relaxation defuses (reduces)
anger and the blame and complaints that often go with it.

Message for the day 05-01-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To remain alert means to ensure our success.
Expression: Inspite of putting in our best efforts we do find ourselves taken
by surprise in certain situations and we experience failure. We often do not understand
why we are experiencing failure even though we have put in our best efforts. At
such times just blaming our fate will not help but what we need to do is to check
within ourselves to see if we have something to change.
Experience: If we experience failure, it means some or the other weakness
of ours is definitely working at that time. We need to check and recognise our weakness
and be constantly alert to it. Since it might start working at any time we need
to be totally alert and then we will find that the weakness will not take us by
surprise. We will then be able to attain total success.
