How good are you at communicating? It really is a subject that is up for all of us right now. And the biggest challenge is: We are not saying what we really want to say. Whether it is a question. Or a response. Or a declaration. Or an observation. It is representative of the core belief: “I don’t know what I want, so I give up trying.”

For example, many of us, when asked to do something, just flat out don’t want to. Just because we don’t want to. But we believe we have to devise a reason…and excuse…as to why we can’t.

I was in a discussion with my daughter the other day and we were sharing things that were difficult in our relationship. She was much better at coming forward in a clear and concise way about things she didn’t particularly like about, well, me. I found myself feeling hurt. Hmmmmmm, I thought, that’s one reason we don’t communicate truthfully. Because the other person has never been taught to receive the information in an objective way. So both parties end up going into reaction and communication breaks down.

I was blindsided in another conversation when I was accused of raising my voice in anger. Now, the experience within me was much different. I was, sincerely, yelling out in fun. But the other person didn’t receive it that way. And this is where perspective comes into play in the subject of communication. One person may PERCEIVE a situation in an entirely different way due to their past history.

So, here are the key things the channel wants us to remember regarding communication:

1) Not only speak with your heart, but hear with your heart also

2) Express how you are feeling instead of accusing the behavior

3) Be clear about what you want, and state it clearly

4) Keep your heart open

Just imagine if all countries and leaders came to the table with these intentions. Well, my friends, it all starts with us. Let us claim, for 2026, I Am the Love of clear and open and concise communication!

Blessings,
