Growing up in a middle-class environment, investing in my education seemed like a distant dream. Even for basic college education, I had to work part-time to pay fees and support my studies. One key memory that stands out is the mantra I used to keep going: “It has to get better when I finish my education and have a decent job. I want to make things better.”
I didn’t have a detailed plan or a clear set of steps. However, being hopeful and holding onto core beliefs kept me moving forward. Over the years, through thousands of conversations and discussions with individuals stuck at various stages of their lives, I’ve realized a profound truth: Success hinges on two crucial aspects – internal and external communication. These two elements guide your focus and determine the direction of your life.
Internal Communication: The Silent Architect of Your Life
Internal communication is the dialogue you have with yourself. It’s about the beliefs and thoughts that shape your worldview. When you tell yourself, “I can do it” or “I’m not sure if this will work,” you are engaging in internal communication. This internal dialogue is influenced by various factors: past experiences, traumas, beliefs, and your overall perspective of the world.
The importance of internal communication cannot be overstated. It is the foundation upon which everything else is built. Positive self-talk and a strong belief in your abilities can propel you toward success. Conversely, negative self-talk can hold you back.
External Communication: Projecting Your Inner World
External communication is how you convey your thoughts and ideas to the outside world. This includes your language, expressions, and body language. Your external communication is a reflection of your internal world. Improving your external communication through new ideas, reading books, and associating with successful people can profoundly impact your internal dialogue, creating a positive feedback loop.
The Synergy Between Internal and External Communication
The good news is that internal and external communication are interconnected. Improving one can positively influence the other. For instance, when you engage with new ideas and learn from successful individuals, your internal dialogue becomes more optimistic and constructive. This, in turn, enhances your external communication, making you more articulate and confident.
Achieving Clarity and Focus
Managing both internal and external communication effectively leads to greater clarity and focus. This clarity allows you to better direct your efforts and experience a more fulfilling and satisfying reality. When I coach people, we begin with internal communication. I help my clients define who they truly are and what is important to them. This process of clear articulation and refinement builds confidence and inner certainty, which then manifests in their outer vision of life, improving their chances of achieving their goals.
Discover Your True Self
We must dedicate time to understanding who we are. This self-awareness forms the basis of our internal communication and guides how and where we should spend our time, aligning our actions with our life goals and visions.
