| Friend,
If you give people facts without a story, they will explain it within their existing belief system. The best way to promote a new or different belief is not with facts but with a story. —Dave Gray, Liminal Thinking
Share a story that pleases you with someone else.
Don’t tell them what you think the moral of the story is about.
Instead, ask them what they think it means.
Listen with the curiosity of a child, without interrupting them.
Then…
Ask for clarity to make sure you understand what they have shared.
Ask them about how this “moral of the story” fits into their current life.
Smile and say thank you.
Without approval or judgment, consider what they have shared with you.
