Do you know and are you able to talk about what matters to you? Doing this is how you discover about you and the action to take.
Knowing: – Politics, education, eco friendly, the eco system and more. Knowing the topics that matter to you, helps you to engage in meaningful conversation, be yourself, which in turn makes you cool. We live in a world, where we can do this (talk and text through technology) it is good, but it has its place, and that is knowing not to be rude to others, that, get some shopping delivered, instead of going for a walk, and the the other thing, rather than engaging in things ( things being productive, purposeful and guided activities that actually matter to you.
ability: Lets take politics, there are and I think possibly will always be social issues somewhere in the world, about something. At the end of the day, these issues, if we know they matter to us, to do something (ability) about how we feel, and learn all we need to about the issue.
Conversation: Which brings to me to the issue of having conversations about things, (the topics above for instance) with those who you feel you can have a conversation with. I have concluded that there are 7 elements (I talk about these in my article to action) , to having a meaningful, heart felt, belly ached through laughing, conversation. And, my friend, it can all start with one person, that being you. Have one, a conversation that is, with everyone and everywhere. But before you do, make a quite internalised judgement call, about whether or not to proceed with this person.
And remember to always work at keeping the conversation going, if it matters to you. It is about your knowing and ability to call again.
