Do you ever wonder why there is so much conflict in life?
Have you ever thought about how nice it would be to get along with everyone?
Do you wish people understood how you think and feel about things?
Do you often feel you are walking to the beat of a different drummer?
The answer is in our understanding of our own and others personality differences. It is how we think and feel verses how other people think and feel. Different and wrong are often mistaken for one another without this understanding.
Effective communication is a skill that is easy to learn and hard to apply but makes the difference in every aspect of our lives. It makes a difference with our family, on our job, the service we get in a restaurant to the ability to achieve our goals in life. All these things hinge on our ability to connect with other people to a level that will enable them to like and trust us so that together we can accomplish all that we need or want. Effective communication is the power of influence.
Carl Jung the father of modern psychology defined these differences into a language we could all understand and relate to. The recognition of these differences goes back thousands of years and the definitions have not changed over the centuries.
The differences in people are simple:no Do you have an extraverted outgoing view of life or an introverted inward view?no Do you put people first in your thought process or tasks first?no Is your view of the world centered in the here and now or future oriented?
Understanding how to recognize these simple differences in both yourself and others and learning how to adapt your style to them makes the difference in your quality of life and the quality and quantity of your relationships. It will give you the power to mold your life into the direction you want it to go.
