Every once in a while, someone says something to us or asks something of us that throws us off balance.
In those moments, we reach for something to grab onto . . . in this case its our words.
One of two things will happen . . .
You will grab something that turns out to be quite brilliant and you might even say to yourself . . .
“Wow! That really sounded awesome!”
or . . .
You might reach for something that was just flat out terrible to which you might say to yourself . . .
“DOH!”
Either way, you leave the situation empty handed if you fail to take the lesson with you.
Better yet . . .
How cool would it be if you captured these “Off balance” moments in your journal so little by little . . .
You become more intentional with your communication while . . .
Remaining a humble “student” in the process!
Your turn . . .
What have you learned when you’ve been thrown “off balance”?
