Hmmm… So, What is Edification?

Hi there, it’s great to have you visiting here. Hang out for a while and check out the different areas. Don’t forget to have a look at the free resources you can download and utilize.

Today’s topic is very close to my heart, and my wish is that in reading this you find that the skill plays a dramatic role in your life. Edification is the process of communicating the positive traits of someone to another person while they are not around.

I know that it can be difficult to feel supremely awesome all the time, and that sometimes some people can frustrate you. But I implore you to do the following…

NEVER SPEAK ILL OF ANYBODY!

When you are talking to someone about someone else, ensure that you don’t “put them down” or “bag them”. The only thing this achieves is to keep you in a negative state and possibly take your conversation partner(s) to the same negative place. You cannot achieve anything good by bagging on someone!

Another thing this achieves, is to place doubt in the minds of the people you are talking to, because they can now think of you, “What are they saying behind my back when I am not around? Do they bag on me to others?”. You automatically lose respect in the eyes of others.

Please remember, by doing this you are showing others more negativity about you than about who you are talking about as it is your thoughts and your reality that you are communicating.

So, edification is to “talk up” someone to someone else. If you mention only someone’s good points to another person while the subject is not around, you achieve many things.

You are being positive and showing no negativity.

You create a positive expectation in the person you are speaking with about the person you are speaking about.

You are creating respect for yourself.

When the person you are speaking with is eventually in the presence of the person you are talking about, they start with only positive preconceived ideas.

It alters your feelings about the person you are speaking about.

Please, please, please, keep yourself in a positive frame of mind and only talk positive of anybody. Never forget, you only have your interpretation of any person, so speaking ill is only speaking about your interpretation, not about the person themself! It is your interpretation that is judged, not them.

Have fun talking people up and “Live Your Ultimate Life!”
