You may have strong opinions that you feel compelled to express today. While you might want to let others know how you feel, the intensity of your feelings could cause you to react too strongly. People may perceive your conviction as forcefulness and be driven away by your zeal. You will likely have greater success in inviting others to hear your opinions today if you approach your conversations with greater finesse and thoughtfulness. You may find that others are keen to know more about what you think and believe when you express yourself in a factual and unemotional way. The people you converse with in this manner may not necessarily agree with your sentiments but they will hear you.
Tempering your words when you express strong opinions can make others more willing to listen to your points. A forceful attitude will often drive people away. Speaking with gentle persuasion as you present the facts allows people to formulate their views based on the information you have given them. Even if their opinions differ from yours, they will be more likely to entertain your viewpoint if you present your arguments in a clear and nonconfrontational way. A calm voice and a willingness to avoid forgoing facts for emotion will help others more easily grasp your meaning. Keep your words and expression on an even note today, and others will give you their attention.
