00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Clyde Lee Dennis Here and today in our seven Good

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Minutes extra segment, our thought for today is true communication

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>happens in the space between words, where listening becomes an

4
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>act of love and speaking becomes an art of truth.

5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 1>We often think of communication as the words we say,

6
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 1>the messages we deliver, the points we make. But the

7
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>real magic of communication, the kind that builds connection and trust,

8
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>lives in what happens between the words. It's in the listening,

9
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the full present kind of listening that doesn't rush to respond,

10
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 1>doesn't prepare a rebuttal while the other is speaking, but

11
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>listens to understand. That kind of listening says you matter,

12
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 1>I hear you, I'm with you, and in that space

13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>love is felt without needing to be spoken. Then there's

14
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 1>the speaking. True communication isn't just about saying what's on

15
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 1>your mind. It's about choosing words with care, speaking from truth,

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>not ego, from clarity, not defensiveness. That kind of speaking

17
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't just convey information, it carries integrity. When we slow

18
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>down and honor both sides, listening and speaking, we create

19
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>space for something deeper, something healing. Communication becomes more than conversation.

20
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>It becomes connection. Here's a question to reflect on today.

21
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Where in your life can you bring more presence and

22
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>honesty into the way you communicate. Today's positive affirmation is

23
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I listen with love, speak with truth, and create space

24
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>for genuine connection. Remember, the most powerful communication is not

25
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 1>just heard, it's felt. Speak less to impress and more

26
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to connect. Until next time, I'm Clydeleie Dennis and this

27
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>has been seven good minutes extra
