Yo, today's QOD is I've had a great many troubles in life most of which never happened here we go

Welcome back to the quote of the day show I'm your host Sean cracks in the Sean Crox and calm today's talk with

Dan Millman is the perfect follow up to yesterday's talk with by Proctor because

Dan is going to talk about our beliefs our conscious and our unconscious beliefs and how they contribute to

our interpretations of things of life of events of communications from other people and I will tell you

couple really important things that I learned like 10 12 years ago I took these landmark education

courses and one was human beings are meaning making machines like making meaning is just it's just

what we do and number two is it means what you make it mean and those are just so profound to me because

it just created this space rock and go okay my interpretation of this event my interpretation of

what happened to me my interpretation of what this individual said what I'm making this all mean

is my own creation and it can mean something else like this is not the final interpretation it could

be something else and that just again that's so so frame and it's just a level of self awareness

that you get to where you're like okay it doesn't have to mean that it could mean something else let's

go get some clarification on this let's choose a new meaning because the meaning that we give things

as Dan is going to talk about today impacts how we communicate with others how we react and respond

to others as well so he's going to talk about that he's also going to give you a few things that you

can do to become a better listener and a better communicator Dan Millman's coming up

that's how communications go arrived because of this thing called mind beliefs impact our reality

tremendously i'll give you an example i mentioned the word ocean cruise what comes to mind

well some people immediately the pictures ocean cruise they picture fresh sea air blue skies maybe

they picture ice sculptures and great food you know and in great abundance those cruises haven't

maybe a swimming pool on the deck or shuffle board they're picturing all these things but i'll tell
