Bouncing A Basketball

If I go to the park just down the street and start bouncing a basketball I’m probably not going to get a lot of compliments on my new glasses.

However, if I’m bouncing a basketball, eventually someone is going to walk up to me who is also interested in a bouncing basketball.

Then, after we shoot around for a while I might just get that compliment on my new glasses I want.


If I get frustrated at my new friend for not opening with the glasses compliment then I neither get the compliment nor the basketball partner.


We must understand what our magnet is…not necessarily what we want it to be…but what it IS.

Accept the magnet, learn it’s power and use it to connect.
