If you’re searching for change, one of the easiest things you can do RIGHT NOW is to evaluate the conversations you are having. Chances are they can use some editing.

• What are you talking about?
• What topics keep repeating?
• Who is involved?

Monitor your conversations, both online and off, then prioritize the kind of world you want to live in:

Creation, not lack
Goals, not complaint
Care, not brokenness
Change, not stuckness

The best conversations will be rooted in the question Who do I want to become? These conversations can help you reach goals and dive into deeper levels of living.

First you must find people with similar goals. These are the people you want to spend time with: People who are equally invested in exploration, growth, process, and evolution. Don’t tolerate negativity. Those people who can’t seem to stop talking about others? Refuse to participate. Change topics. Don’t entertain abusive, destructive, or derogatory remarks. 

If you can’t find positive people, make adjustments. Be intentional. Use online resources and set boundaries. Time limits can also be helpful.

Think of your conversations as currency. Meetings, phone calls, chats, emails, even text messages. Be strategic about the way in which you invest.
