One of the biggest challenges we all face in our relationships is the issue of communication. The average person speaks enough words in one year to fill 66 books, 800 pages long. Most men speak about 15,000- 20,000 words a day. The average woman 30,000 words a day. We are a nation of talkers who say a lot but not a lot of communication takes place.
You and I possess a great power that we seldom think about:
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Prov. 18:21).
Think about this: When it comes to COMMUNICATION:
7% is what you say
38% is how you say it
55% is your Body Language
My biggest challenge in communication is LISTENING... I must listen more than I speak, I must listen before I speak and I must seek to understand before I am understood.
So, how are you doing when it comes to communication? What will you focus on as you interact with your family, friends and others today? I would love to hear from you on this...
