When you make life just about you, your processing of information, events and interactions all unfold around you. This leads to your ego getting in the way leading to disappointment, setbacks and frustration.
However, if you make the interactions with others about them, the dialogue revolves around the other person’s needs and paradigms. This approach usually makes you a better communicator creating a deeper satisfying discussion. It also leads to better negotiation, camaraderie and revenue.
Next time you interact with someone, remember: It’s not just about you, it is also about the other!
