If this was to be your last conversation, what would you want to ask about or what would you want to say to the other person that means so much to you?

There is not enough time in the day to talk about the power of conversations. I have been inspired by a Ted Talk that has given me insight to what individuals may feel when they have a deep, intimate conversation with someone they care about. However, I have had experiences like this before and can personally say that those are the best times of my life. A simple conversation can reveal so much about someone you might of thought you knew everything about. The truth is, we will never know everything and there is no such thing as being an expert. With growth comes learning and we learn new things each and everyday. I learn things about myself, my boyfriend, my family members, my friends and even strangers that I never knew before. I find it fascinating that we live in a world of the unknown where our future isn’t certain. We get to wake up every morning and start fresh with a choice. The choice is up to you whether it be the choice about what you talk about, your mood, your outfit, your friends, your career decision, your life.

According to the Ted Talk that I watched this morning, there was a study done in a hospice center where individuals were asked what would be the top 4 things that you would want to tell someone if you had the chance.. They said: Thank you, I love you, forgive me, I forgive you..

To me, that speaks volumes and put my life into a perspective where I considered what it might be like if I was close to dying what would I want to say and who would all the wonderful people be that I would want to talk to?

The beauty of communication is beyond measure. We, as human beings, were created to communicate and learn and grow..

I tend to throw out the term “beauty” often and I don’t do that to sound cliché or over-romanticize sentences, but I do choose to live in a romanticized world because life without that would be less hopeful. That’s my opinion.. So I choose to live happier than yesterday. Don’t get me wrong, I have my days, I even have my weeks of doubt, sadness, guilt, frustration, anger and so on.. When I am able to recollect my thoughts and actions, I am able to learn something from myself and perhaps a different way to cope that isn’t so harmful to my spirit.

I am constantly reminded of the goodness of people when I have intimate conversations with individuals that I hardly know. It is in those moments that I realize all the times that I have pre-judged a person’s intentions wrongly and from there, I am shameful that I did not take the time to get to know that person on a deeper level..

I encourage you to talk, make phone calls and use those vocals to expand your mind. I personally need to get better at making those phone calls to the people I love, I am not so sure why my busy life interferes with that as much as it does. It’s definitely something I want to change.

We are present now and we should be making our time enjoyable, whatever that looks like to you..

So..Speak.. Speak up, speak to your loved ones, speak to a stranger, give a compliment, say an encouraging word, look yourself in the mirror and talk, say those powerful and special words that are in your mind to the people that matter most.. Do it now.

What will you talk about today that will impact your tomorrow?
