How Many Conversations Are You Passing Up?

(Originally posted November 2013, updated/edited January 2024)

Every single person on the planet has a story. I believe we all have a personal responsibility to hear as many of them as possible. When we’re willing to step forward with the courage to engage a stranger and learn who they are and what stories they have to tell, boy, that’s where the magic happens!

I’ve followed Ed Valfre's for several years now. He always has some insightful and meaningful posts. This one, in particular, really grabbed me. I bet it does you too.

It has me thinking, of course…

How many conversations are we passing up?

How many stories might we hear if we just said hello?

What could we learn if we just took the time to engage and listen?

What kind of amazing people might we meet and ultimately attract into our life?

I would be honored to meet and talk with this Nun one day. What about you? Just imagine the stories she could tell.

We should all pay a little more attention to our surroundings and the people in them. Do a little more engaging in our everyday life. I promise if you do, you’ll discover some amazing people and hear some incredible stories along the way.

Imagine how special you make someone feel just by noticing them and engaging them in conversation. That, my friend, is the perfect way to make a difference and have a Ripple Effect.

Ripple On!!!
