Polishing the gold in others is easy to do and a valuable habit to develop to transform your relationship results. People will usually rise to the occasion and live up to your positive expectations.

The Art of Communication shares insights to help you communicate with a higher awareness and focused intention and meet people on their level to increase clarity and understanding.

Your life is happening in the NOW, yet the present moment is often squandered by your thinking about what has happened in the past or may happen in the future.

Just be Nice. Nice—this little word has a big meaning. Use it generously. Being nice helps people feel emotionally safe, allowing for more authentic, trusting, and happy interactions.

Be Brave. Bravery takes fortitude—put yourself on the line, even if you risk failing, falling, being embarrassed, or looking stupid—if being brave were easy, more people would be. Just try it!

Manners Matter. Courteous behavior is the hallmark of healthy relations and human interaction. Manners ensure you will be more respected, admired, and appreciated. Thank you!

Take the Initiative. Be proactive. If you want to rock your relationship results, it is going to take action, effort, initiative, and choosing to get in the game—so, step up, step out, and show up!

Begin to take the initiative when you want to meet someone new. Be the one who steps forward first. Simply say hello and begin a conversation.

Imagine how many new friends you would make, how much new business you could create, and how much fun you could have by simply taking the initiative to be the inviter.

You already know the difference between being a gracious person versus a rude one.

Impeccable manners and courteous behavior are the hallmarks for healthy relations and human interaction.

A man is master of himself to a certain point, but not beyond it. -William Crimsworth

I am here tracing the History of the Earth itself, from its own Monuments.

Yet, though it is like this, simply, flowers fall amid our longing and weeds spring up amid our antipathy.

Men like to to count their troubles; few calculate their happiness.

The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone, the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood

Words are containers for power

The reality of the situation is life on Earth has not changed. We need facts, we need events, we need specifics on things.

When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention.

The secret of happiness is not in doing what you like but in liking what you have to do.

Conflict can be seen as a gift of energy, in which neither side loses and a new dance is created.
