Conversations Control Your LIfe - Fly or Flock

Life is about conversations. Literally, before we are born some of the most unsophisticated mumbles(baby talk) are whispered to our mothers belly. Even on our deathbed people spontaneously become philosophical and voice their sorrow as if a reply is expected. As humans we live to be social. But what does this power of being social actually hold. 

 

You ever hear the saying "birds of a feather flock together". This saying couldn't be more true. But what they don't tell you is that if one of these bird got shot in mid air, those once flocking birds would disburse faster than you could say "pull". I say all this to reference that if that flock had been having the right conversations they would known when and where they were flying over hunting grounds. In life there are 3 types of birds. There are those that get shot in mid air because they just flock with other and never question why. There are also those that adapt to immediate change, thus flying away. And then there are those that converse about the possibilities and danger ahead. Its amazing how a simple conversation can help one plan effetely to take a new route. Two great question to ask yourself is who do you flock with and are the conversations in this flock conducive or are they irrelevant?

Each day I strive to bring substance into my life. It is because of this, I personally choose not to watch television or listen to music. Now a day's good moral substance is hard to come by. In order to not fall victim to the distraction of the world, I open the door for frugal conversations. Recently I challenged a good friend of mine for one week to tally each meaningless conversation. Three days later they were ready to throw in the towel. You would be surprised how much you spend listening and having the wrong conversations. Every flock isn't frugal nor conducive and sometimes you can find yourself flying in the wrong direction. Unfortunately,  most people are afraid to break the V formation to go their own route.

 I can't stress enough about the importance of having a frugal flock and how the type of conversations within this flock can dictate your altitude. Life has granted me the chance to participate in many great conversation and in these discussions I have made it my duty to not only listen twice and much as but take something of value away from the conversation. Sometimes you have to strategically place yourself around the people you aspire to be like to attain the things you want to have. Nothing in life comes easy and closed mouths don get fed. Who knows, maybe one of your next conversations could lead to you creating a one of the world's best beard brands.
