Initiate meaningful conversations.
When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation with someone? More often than not, people land up making conversations about mundane stuff, gossip or things they can’t even remember. So while you don’t need to make each conversation deep and insightful, you must have adequate meaningful conversations with everyone you share a relationship with. Truly get to “know” the people you interact with . Ask them about their lives and listen fully to what they are saying. Appreciate their sharing, ask the right questions, show genuine interest and keep the exchange authentic. Some may be more reserved than others, but keep trying because meaningful conversations are the key to meaningful relationships. And do keep in mind that texting, taking calls and being distracted during in conversation that you are trying to make meaningful, is a complete no-no!
