DynamicDuoTwins - "Motivational tip of the Week"

module - "X-Box"

In 1955 two psychologist Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham developed a tool to help people better understand their interpersonal communication and relationships. This unique tool or concept became know as the "Johari House" of 4 rooms or "Johari's Window".

Room 1 is the part of ourselves that we see and others see. Room 2 is the aspect that others see but we are not aware of. Room 3 is the most mysterious room in that the unconscious or subconscious bit of us is seen by neither ourselves nor others. Room 4 is our private space, which we know but keep from others.

To better understand ourselves and to be able to maximize our interpersonal skills and abilities one must learn to operate equally in all "4" rooms. That means finding a balance between what is known and unknown about yourself and pulling occasionally from your "X-Box" those things which are hidden from you and others.

"Far too many people have no idea of what they can do because all they have been told is what they can't do.They don't know what they want because they don't know what's available for them". Zig Ziglar

When you have learned how to tap into your "X-Box" of unknown skills and talents you will be amazed at how quickly you excel in whatever it is you are doing.
