One moment. One chance. That’s the mantra in today’s vlog, “The Power of Moments,” where @lornerubis and I talk about how to embrace everyday opportunities for meaningful conversations.

Have you ever seen an opportunity to start a conversation, such as with a colleague at work, but your mind immediately starts telling you why you shouldn’t stop to chat?

You think: “Maybe they’re too busy. Maybe they want some quiet time alone. Maybe I’ll be a nuisance.” This happens to a lot of us. Every day, we see moments to create genuine connections with those around us, and we either embrace the moment or shy away.

But when we talk ourselves out of living in the present, we can miss a chance to engage in meaningful conversations. Never be afraid to embrace unexpected moments; by doing so, you can build stronger relationships in your community and might even have an extraordinary conversation.

Here are the key takeaways from today’s episode:

  1. Be conscious and look for these moments every single day.
  2. Stop talking yourself out of  embracing new experiences
  3. Remind yourself every day that you have one moment, one chance. Always make it count.

Here’s to disrupting sameness and achieving #betterwork.
