The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.
\n~ Tony Robbins<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Do you agree with Tony Robins<\/a>\u00a0– do we determine our own lives by how we communicate?<\/p>\n

\u00a0Communications impact our lives<\/h2>\n

I included that quote in my June newsletter<\/a>* (which was themed on quality) because I think we can control our lives to a certain extent by how we communicate.<\/p>\n

If you are always sad and complaining, you’re unlikely to be inundated with invitations to parties and fun events – and you’re therefore likely to feel sadder.<\/p>\n

If you are friendly and polite, showing respect for others no matter the circumstances, people will respect you and be more likely to help you. Never underestimate the power of a smile or a thank you…<\/p>\n

If you complain and can’t see the silver lining anywhere, you may stop yourself from being creative and finding a solution<\/a> or an innovation to change (your) world.<\/p>\n

If you take no care in how your business communicates in writing, some potential clients will judge you poorly and go elsewhere for a professional service. Thus the effort (or lack thereof) determines\u00a0how many clients you have and your business income and overall success.<\/p>\n

If you always frame things in a positive way and take care what you communicate about (eg avoid gossip and criticisms), the odds are you will feel better and attract interested and interesting people. You will also have a positive mindset and spot more opportunities.<\/p>\n

These are simplistic examples, but no less true for that.<\/p>\n

It is a choice how we communicate. And how we communicate does influence our lives.<\/p>\n

Should communications replace 42 as the answer?<\/h2>\n
\"Effective<\/a>

Which way do you weight effective communications?<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, it’s hard to implement 42 so communications is certainly a more actionable answer to life, the universe and everything!<\/p>\n

We can choose to communicate better – by learning new words, more about expressing words (from grammar to using ‘you’ more than ‘me’), developing our listening skills and practising our writing skills<\/a> as good starting points.<\/p>\n

However, I don’t think communications alone makes a great life. There’s also hard work, learning and being a good person.<\/p>\n

What do you think are the important factors in ensuring you have the best life you can?<\/p>\n

Do you have any examples from your business on how communications directly affected the outcome or quality of an outcome?<\/p>\n

*\u00a0If you like reading inspirational and\/or thought-provoking quotes, I include one\u00a0 every month when I write my newsletter, business writing ideas. To keep the quote company, I also write some tips on business communications and improve a real life example of bad writing. Subscribing is simple – just fill in the form on my site<\/a>.<\/p>\n
