“We need to talk.”
We’ve probably all heard those words before, and they may have been followed by either really good news or really bad news. But for the most part, if you’ve ever said to someone, “we need to talk,” it’s probably not going to be an easy conversation for you to have.
The other day I had two separate situations come up that involved a conversation the person needed to have but kept putting off. And it was a good reminder that I think a lot of us have those “conversations” bottled up inside of us that we need to have but just keep justifying putting them off.
We put them off because we don’t know how the other person will respond. We’re scared of the outcome of the conversation. It’s the fear of the unknown that prevents us from taking that next step.
But what I found was how much better both of these individuals felt after they had their respective conversations.
So who is it in your life that you need to reach out to and have that conversation with? Who have you just lost touch with that you need to reconnect with? Who are you holding a grudge towards that you just need to pick up the phone and say you’re sorry to? What is the secret you’ve been keeping that you need to share with that person?
The more you bottle it up, the tougher it gets to have that talk. So go pick up the phone, write up an email, send them a card, or go over to their house and begin that conversation.
You’ll feel better once you do.
