Communication and Happiness

I open the door of peace and happiness with the key of love and communication.

The connections I build with other people have a great deal to do with my own sense of self-confidence and happiness. When I am confident in who I am, I am better able to step out of my shell and embrace the world. When I am unsure of myself, my relationships suffer.

Deep interpersonal relationships can be nurtured through honesty and openness.
No one really knows what is going on in my head, including myself sometimes. When they don’t understand what I am going through, our ability to relate and connect suffers. If I am feeling down, I should let my loved ones know. When they hurt my feelings, I should make it clear. They will appreciate the honesty, and will do what they can to make things better.

Find out what they are going through. Be supportive and understanding. Many times, people don’t really know what it is that they are going through. They need to talk about it. I can lend an ear. The two of us will come to understand each other on a deeper level.

Be open to honesty. Criticism can help me to see myself in a new light. Sometimes I am deaf to my own words and blind to my own actions. It’s only when others point them out that I can see myself in a new light.

Questions Of Reflection:

1. Am I open to others honest opinions?
2. Are my relationships based on and nourished by truthfulness?
3. Do I make an effort to communicate my feeling and seek out others?
