Someone who asks for nothing but your company

Do you enter conversations with the intent to "win", influence, or achieve a certain outcome? Do you already have an idea of what the other person thinks, feels and what they are going to say? Try this instead: see the interaction as your job to make the other person look good. Focus on them, not on you and how you come across. Be interested, don't worry so much about being interesting. Say yes, don't block the conversation. Respond playfully. Stay present. Watch how rewarding it is to have a conversation that is not ruled by fears, assumptions, or manipulation.

How beautiful it is to find someone who asks for nothing but your company in a world that is constantly trying to get something from you, or change you.
