Thinking on Sunday:

"Instead of trying to convince people that your issue is important to them, you should be trying to convince them that their issue is important to you."

This can be applicable to many aspects of our lives. I've been asked how I get people to do so many things. How am I so persuasive? Well here's the secret. Although it's not really a secret, because people have been doing it for years.

It isn't, "I talk, you listen." It's, "You talk, I listen." Sometimes we get so caught up in what we want that we approach the situation with a self-centered mentality.

So as you start this new week, try to remember "what we've talked about today."

"How does that make you feel...?"
