The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was a spectacular experience and I was wondering how the magic of it would play out. In the end there were colors everywhere snd the sky was alive with light.
Ever watch people? People watching is an amazing pastime and may be why apps like TikTok and Reelz are so popular. If you take the time to just watch a situation unfold instead of inserting yourself in it you may rapidly find insight into many parts of the world and open your mind to possibilities.
Tonight I visited with a Meetup group and met several spectacular people. Even though I did interact (you might expect no less if you know me) I also spent a lot of time listening. People as a whole love to interact with each other. Whether it is a small group or large depends on your personality, but few people gravitate towards truly being alone. I watched the interactions tonight with an almost gleeful eye as people learned about each other. There were those who listened, and those who talked. Those who laughed, and those who were alone in the crowd. In the end, it was quite fun.
I have found that listening is super. As I have gotten older, or just plain old, I now know that people who truly want to know about you will ask questions, but many people just want to feel special and tell their story. With that, I listen, and in the process, the world opens.
So as the sun sets on another day, I enjoyed all the people I met today. From the future real estate tycoon, to the travel expert, from the warehouse worker, to the future James Patterson, all are and were amazing, and every one had a great story. I took the time to listen and I hope you listen and hear every day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and life is pretty cool…
