You're not listening to me...

Have you ever felt that way? That people were just not listening to you, always cutting you off mid-sentence, and that they even started treating you differently at some point in time? What I'm about to say is really geared towards you, not them, unless "them" are reading this, too. What's going on is a filter. A filter is a pre-concieved idea or notion about how something is or how a person is or is going to be. Maybe their filter for you is that you're righteous, that you don't listen, or that you don't care.

For example, when my wife was pregnant, every woman I saw was pregnant. It was the filter I had for women at the time. They stood out like a sore thumb. What I'm getting at is that you have a filter for everyone and everything...it's not bad...we all have filters, but distinguishing your filters will have you able to either keep it or let it go and create a new, empowering one.

Also, guess what, maybe you've been wanting more patients, well, from now on all your current patients are new patients! You have had a filter for patients, each and every one of them, and you now have the power and choice to create a filter that maybe has them paying up front, always happy to be there...always on time, even!

Well, keep looking for where you have filters and how altering them will enhance your life and theirs!
