If you have similar personal interests you’re more likely to build strong relationships, whether it’s in business, on the internet or in your personal life.
1: First recognized by behaviour:
People use their senses and emotions to check you out. By the way you dress, what you say, by your body language, and by the jargon (type of speech & writing) you use.
2: Using our senses:
- The five known senses: Sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell.
- Plus sixth sense: Emotional impact and spiritual intuition.
- And seventh sense: Intellect. That is, judgement through known personal knowledge or previous experience.
3: Similar likes & dislikes:
- You relate better to people who have the same likes and dislikes. Also have the same interests, needs and desires.
- You more likely relate to people who have gone through similar situations, trials and tribulations as you, because you understand where each other is coming from emotionally.
- You get along better with someone who thinks and talks like you.
- Therefore personal interests drive strong relationships.
Building a group with similar interests:
We are all wondering nomads until we focus.
- Know your niche in life. Find out who has the same interests and link up with them.
- Find out what makes people tick. And gather similar personalities together.
- Together you’ll make a formable group and achieve more together.
Participation is driven by passion:
- Social behaviour and activities develop and move along quicker when everyone’s passion is involved.
- Energy and power is built on unity. Unity is built on sharing and working harmoniously together.
- Followers are shareholders. Their passionate participation creates freedom of speech.
Knowing all this, helps us write better blogs:
When we write blogs we need to take all these things into consideration, if we want to reach people out there more effectively.
- Deep personal concerns reach and touch people more effectively than plain straight facts.
- The words we use are important. They conjure up people’s feelings that affect their senses, their moods, etc, that make them re-act the way they do.
- Understanding particular situations and likely interests people have. Always keeping in mind the lifestyle and possible needs, desires or cravings of your audience.
- Knowing your topic in-side-out and what it entails, gives you a better chance of understanding the needs and desires of others. You can draw upon your own experiences to help others.
- If you understand your own emotions on the topic, you are more likely to understand others and their needs.
- So to express yourself better with words, use passionate descriptive words, to open up the hearts and stir the senses and feelings in others.
- When you run out of ideas to write, take time out to relax. Inspiration and intuition comes easier, if you stop to listen to the still small voice of the `heart’. Thessalonians 1: 11
I find having an open awareness helps.
That is, doing research, reading a lot, keeping an interest in what is going around you and experimenting with what you learnt, makes it easier to hear the promptings of inspiration. Somehow something stands out and takes your attention and your mind starts willingly `embroidering’ on it.
