The art of conversation !!!

As defined by www.dictionary.com , conversation is an "informal interchange of thoughts, information, etc., by spoken words; oral communication between persons; talk; colloquy" and also "the ability to talk socially with others".
This is my definition of conversation - "the ability to capture, analize, understand and accept the other person(s) you are interacting with". Remember words and gestures are a powerful instrument and can be used in any manner imaginable. So considering the above mentioned, what is it about conversation that makes us be...
Simple - it allows you to understand someone's feelings, emotions, concerns, troubles, etc, etc, etc., but to get to that point, you need to be able to have a conversation within yourself. Yes !!, as crazy as it sounds, if you dont "capture, analize, understand and accept" your own thoughts, then how do you think that you will be able to understand someone else's?
Truth is, you won't, you will continue to live a lie where you will be misguided by external ideas not originating from your own nature and eventually you will get so caught up in this reality that your own feelings start to alienate the person whom you really are.
So I've come up with three simple guidelines to learn to listen to yourself:
1- Sit, lay down, run, etc - do whatever makes you relax so you can start listening in to the ideas flowing thru your head. These are usually dealt by your sub-concious, but very easy to tap in to.
2- Start filtering all these thoughts in order of importance. Trust me - if you know what's good for you and if you allow your true instincts to help you, you will most likely make the correct choice as to which situation you are trying to handle.
3- Never EVER look at your ideas as something negative - it doesn't matter what situation you are in, there is ALWAYS a way to find its solution and have a positive outcome.
If you can follow and ACCEPT these 3 guideline (or at least the symbolism behind them) you will slowly develop a perception of your life that will not only help you evolve, but let you clearly understand the way of thinking of others thru simple conversation.
Like they say: "the eyes are the mirror image of your soul", conversation is the expression of it. Let's us it wisely.
