Watch Your Mouth!

Seed of the Day: Find opportunities to speak positively to others and encourage them.

Good morning world, it's Friday! Hi-Five somebody and say "We made it!"  Welcome back to Operation Grow 365, where anyone and everyone is welcome. We trust you had a good week and are ready to relax this weekend (or enjoy whatever fun activities you may have planned). Perhaps you are looking forward to watching your favorite college or pro team play this weekend. If you're the adventurous outdoor type, you might have a favorite trail you've been waiting to hike. For my artistically inclined readers, get those creative ideas flowing!

If this is your first time to the site, welcome! We're so glad you're here. Take a look around, check out some of our other seed ideas and friends we have put in our "Spotlight". Feel free to leave us a comment, e-mail us at oneseed365@gmail.com, or tweet us at @OneSeed365. We love hearing from you!

Have you ever been in a conversation that felt like this picture? A lot of words were being exchanged, but there was also a lot of confusion happening at the same time. It's quite common to have communication lines mixed up when two people are on different pages of thought. It's what helps us to develop our listening skills, rather than to go on the defensive when an opposing idea or thought is presented.

Knowing this, we'd like you to take the opportunity to speak positively to others around you today. Chances are, one of the biggest barriers of communicating effectively is the perception of the speaker. People are more likely to engage you in conversation, if you are willing to speak positively and convey a tone that is more receptive than combative. It's not to say that you won't ever have to have tough conversations with someone; we'd like you to get in the practice of watching what you say. It may make all the difference in the world.

Have a great start to your weekend, and thanks again for helping us change the world, one seed at a time!
