Hermits are People, too

The Social spoke on the Wheel of Life can be tricky.
But it's a crucial part of a growing, balanced, enthusiastic
life.

John Bradshaw says that the "primal scene" is a face. What
you see when you're first born, first learning to focus, is
a face...your parents and family looking at you, engaging
you.

Faces connect us to our original power. Our continued
growth depends on seeing others' faces. You don't
necessarily need too many. Just get out, interact and enjoy
the energy.

Even if you're a "private" person (my uncle is a
self-professed hermit), you can still enjoy being with
others. You grow as a person when you interact with other
people. You can learn a lot, if you're willing to listen
(and I don't just mean gossip).

Yes, avoid negative people that bring you down, or whine,
criticize and complain. But if you tend to avoid people
altogether, or meeting new people, it can hold you back.
Personally, professionally, spiritually. Be open (even if
just a little) to new areas of growth in your life.

Here are some things to consider as you plan your Social
goals:

Public
Clubs and organizations
Public speaking
Mastermind groups
Community/Political involvement

Private
Friendships
Entertaining/hospitality
Relationships
Social skills
Listening

Whether you're working on your social/speaking skills, or
you're trying to deepen some existing relationships...

...the Q-Link will help you relax, focus and pay attention.
All very important in new or familiar social settings. And
the Q-Link is supremely important for reducing the stress
created from new situations...introducing yourself, public
speaking, leading a meeting, going to a new school, church,
job, etc.

Live like you Mean it...

P.S. If you wear your Q-Link outside your shirt, it's a
great icebreaker.

P.P.S. In case you missed it, the price has come down
almost 25%...and there are additional family and employer
discounts. It's a great time to start something...
