More to come asap.

I just watched a CBS News video about intergenerational friendships …

… And then there was this CBS News video about making friends across generational lines …

… That I wanted to share with you because this is something that I’m involved in a lot these days.

I have several really good friends who are teens as well as 20-something while I’m 51 years old.

Hopefully a few of them will comment here about their relationship with me so we can encourage others that intergenerational relationships aren’t what most think they are.

By the way, all of my current intergenerational relationships have been fostered outside of FaceBook. They are mainly because of my verbal networking involvement in Webinars, teleseminars, Skype Rooms, voice conferencing rooms and the like.

Your thoughts and experiences are appreciated. Feel free to join me in my public public Skype Room < Click Here to Enter My Skype Room > and then immediately say hi and introduce yourself. You’ll be welcomed by me and my many wonderful and extremely friendly friends.

Building relationships is a process and not something that happens over night. Don’t try to leverage relationships right after you meet people or you will most likely not be successful because you have not built trust, credibility or friendship. Nurture your relationships so your network is long lasting and a win/win situation for both of you. It takes times to get to the point where people are comfortable helping you. Be patient and realize that good things come to people who wait.

Judge Not

Quote: The worst thing that can happen to you as an enthusiastic adult is that you could appear foolish to people who need to criticize. Let me assure you–enthusiasm is worth this risk. If you allow yourself to be enthusiastic, you’ll be so full of wonder, you won’t care what people think.

I wanted to touch on judgement today because it can affect us in so many various ways. There is the act of judging someone else, then there is the act of judging oneself, then there is the person who is being judge. Sometimes a little self judgement is good. It is always a good thing to address needs or things that need to change and implement change; however, you do not want to over judge yourself either.

With that in mind we also need to watch how we judge others. I don’t care if you have been in their situation, it doesn’t mean that you are them or that you would handle things perfectly. Take time each day and notice how often you judge yourself or others to harshly. You just might be surprised at what you find.

Responding v Reacting

“Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.”

Bruce Barton (American Congressman, 1886-1967)

“The ultimate test of whether you posses a sense of humor is your reaction when someone tells you you don’t.”

Frank Tyger

“A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.”

Rita Mae Brown
