Communicating With The Most Important Person 
by: Mark Thompson

A anti motivation lesson:

He was a student in the 6th grade. He was great in all
subjects except Math. His stepfather was sent to his
room to help him with his Math homework. After a few
minutes of silence, a loud yell of anger reverberated
throughout the house.

His mother came in to a scene of her son being slapped 
on the side of his head by her husband. He was yelling,
“Are you that freaking stupid?”
Talk about motivation...

Except “freaking” was not the word he used.)
This was almost an everyday occurrence with this child.
Not until several years later when his mother and
stepfather divorced did he understand that the words
being communicated to him were lies and harsh negative
emotions. Nevertheless, emotional scars were developed.

Like all children, I was young and very impressionable
back then. Yes, that was me.

For a while, I believed the lies. I really thought that
I was good for nothing. I didn’t think I would amount
to anything. I believed it because it’s what I was told
for years and years.

After years of studying human behavior I finally
realized that I had to master the communication with
myself. I could not let the echoes of the past
communication master me.

The most important communication is the communication
you have with yourself.
You are the most important person.

There are 3 things that I did to help pull my conscious
and unconscious mind from the gutter of gloom and the
despair of self-doubt. This is what led to the
development of Forward-Living: Your Formula for Living
and Loving Life (described at the end of this article).

1. Repeat Reality / Forget Fiction
Once my stepfather was out of the picture and I started
thinking he may be the one with the problem, I knew
that I may have some value as an individual.

And if I had value as an individual, I may have some 
individual thoughts and opinions. So I repeated what 
I felt deep inside.

I’m going to step out on a limb here. I am willing to
wager my last dollar that even the most self-conscious
and unconfident person has a true sense of self-worth
within them awaiting to be tapped.

If you have been put down all your life, I know you 
feel the true you, the valuable you inside trying 
to escape. Don’t ignore those feelings, thoughts 
and truths.

Here are some things I did to master the communication
with the most important person.

Repeat the reality of you. The reality is “I am unique.
No one could ever replace me. I have talents that
cannot be replaced. I can contribute to this world like
no one else. I am that important!”

Repeat this 10 times to yourself in the mirror every
morning when you get up and before going to bed each
day. I know you’ll feel a little silly when you first
start to do it.

But once you truly understand it and live it, the 
exercise is anything but silly. It’s a powerful tool.

2. Help the hurting.
Find someone who is going through a troubled time and
make yourself available to them in some capacity. It
can be a student who’s struggling with grades.

It can be a hurting single mother who has a hard time 
juggling everyday life and needs a babysitter (for free). 
It could be a close friend who has a hard time coping 
with the birthday of a recently lost loved one.

The point is you don’t have to look far for the
hurting. Don’t make those hurting look far for the
help.

This will do a great deal for mastering 
communication with the most important person –you.
You’ll be reinforcing your value with the actions that
will come naturally.

3. Give thanks for all you have.
It’s that simple. Don’t take life’s gifts for granted.
Tell your family everyday you love them. Cultivate a
love for what’s valuable in life.

Try to understand that what’s valuable in life doesn’t 
cost anything and, usually, the worthless things we 
have are the very things we pay the most money for.

Take these 3 points and use them to master the
communication with the most important person.

Mastering this communication with yourself produces the
successful speaker. After all, if you don’t believe in
yourself by mastering your communication, your audience
will probably tune into that immediately.

Mastering this communication with yourself produces the
successful businessperson. After all, if you don’t
believe in yourself by mastering your communication
your company may not have the confidence in you to push
you up through the ranks.

Mastering this communication with yourself helps
produce the confidence parents need to be successful.
After all, if you don’t believe in yourself by
mastering your communication, your children may end 
up just like you (good or bad) – their model.

Master your communication with yourself for yourself
and those around you will benefit. Learn to live and
love life more than you ever have before.

I did. You can too.
