Values depicted through our communication – Heart of Influence

I am greatly inspired by human cardiovascular system. The heart function is to distribute blood through body, providing nutrients & oxygen and removing impurities. It never ceases, beating more than one and a half billion times in an average life time but it needs no conscious interventions from our brains.

The heart picks up oxygenated blood from lungs and distribute it and nutrients it to the body. Similarly our values and characters are distributed to our surrounding through our conversation with no conscious intervention required from our part.

The blood also picks and disposes impurities from the body. If it fails the impurities are spread through the body, corrupting the quality of our life and bringing illness & death.  Similarly negative communication pollutes relationships and destroys our ability to positively impact the lives of people around us.

The state of our heart determines the well-being of our body. Our character expressed through self-image and personal values determine the quality of our lives. Like blood flow through the body, character flows through our communication bringing life or death, determining the quality of our life, the quality of our influence.
