Wouldn't you love to have these experiences more often? You feel heard, and everything seems possible. It is communication at its highest level, and it's a lost art. You can have these experiences more often if you embrace the four fundamental truths of communication.

• The first truth is to know that what we all want on a deeper level is the ability to connect with one another, to touch each other's soul. Unfortunately, too many of our conversations are just an exchange of ideas and information, and we very rarely penetrate the surface. Most of our focus is on how we are going to respond to what is being said instead of listening. When we know that what the other person really wants is connection, there is common ground on which to build. With this foundation we can build relationships that can deepen and empower those involved.
• The second truth is to know that listening involves much more than just listening to the words. It is tuning in to the energy beyond the words. It is understanding the needs and feelings of the other person. It is about being totally engaged and at the same time being in the rhythm of life. Yes, it takes a lot of energy, but you will be energized by what you get back. I
  Positioning Strategies For Real Estate Agents
  Just recently I was asked to do a talk for my good friend and co-author of our best-selling book in Singapore titled Get Rich Now: 15 Strategies from a Self-made Millionaire, Dr Dennis Wee. (Dr Wee is one of Singapore’s most celebrated entrepreneurs.

  u, let's call him John, makes an observation about you that's quite perceptive and sensitive. You start to become curious about who John is, and in the course of the conversation he tells you of an experience he has only shared with a few people. You let John know that you have had the same experience. By now, you're totally engaged and listening to every word he says. You notice every nuance in the inflection of his voice and the way he moves. Time seems to stand still, and the next thing you know, the plane lands. You say good-bye to the kindred soul you have just met.

    • The second truth is to know that listening involves much more than just listening to the words. It is tuning in to the energy beyond the words. It is understanding the needs and feelings of the other person. It is about being totally engaged and at the same time being in the rhythm of life. Yes, it takes a lot of energy, but you will be energized by what you get back. Imagine living in a world where you are truly listening and fully engaged.
    • The third truth is to know that you must take responsibility for the quality of your communication. Because we all have long-standing attitudes and beliefs, we sometimes find ourselves trying to convince the other person of our viewpoints. Being right then becomes the goal of the interaction rather than communication, and the next thing you know, you are in a full-fledged argument. Just think of what happens when you discuss politics or religion. Is being right more important than experiencing one of those magical moments?
    • The fourth truth is that communication is a process and an art. Being a masterful communicator doesn't happen overnight, but it starts with the intention to experience more connection in your busy life. Just like with other art forms, for example, dancing or music, there is a natural ebb and flow in the learning cycle. As your commitment deepens to this process, you will notice that you are having more frequent glimpses of the magic that is possible in your life. The ultimate communication occurs when you are able to touch each other's soul and share who you are. This newfound magic then becomes the gateway to a more fulfilling life.

    At our core level we all have the same human needs and desires. We want to know that we matter and that our life has meaning and purpose. We also have the need to love and to be loved. When we accept and recognize that we all have these human needs and desires, we realize that we are part of one human family. When we work together as one, what is possible in our lives, communities, and the world expands.

    Embracing the four fundamental truths of communication and applying them to your daily life is a gift to all involved. It is
