In a people business such as real estate, you get to play armchair psychologist with the logic and the emotions of people a lot. You have to discover their underlying feelings, the undercurrents of the WHY they behave the way they do. Not often a phrase known to the general public, but bantered around many real estate agents is
"buyers are liars."
It doesn't mean inherently they are deceiving anyone maliciously but they will say one thing and do another. It is because we have not gotten to know them at that deeper level and come to "understanding."
With six billion people or more in the world more than likely 90% at least are actually very good people. We are all flawed. But if you are to delve deeper into people's beings and get to be a good "Heart Reader" where do you start?
Look To The Face And Eyes To Read The Beauty And Goodness In People
People can seem complex at first, but the face and the eyes reveal much. From the face, as we age it is almost a roadmap of where we have been with smile or frown wrinkles, rough skin from a tough life, a natural smile, and a voice that speaks gently or with vulgarity. The eyes are so key. They say they are the windows to the soul. Are they warm and inviting, cold, shifty, soft, loving, full of care and kindness for you? If there is love, you can see it in the eyes.
Just "look" at the handiwork of faces all around you, past and present, some more known than others, such "variety", no face like another, truly God's own "masterpieces", each and every one:
Julia Child
Chef
Tom Selleck
Actor
Erma Bombeck
Humorist and Columnist
Elisabetta Canalis
Italian born Model and Actress
Mother Teresa
Humanitarian
Art Linkletter
TV show host
And so many more of course... Reading the faces and eyes of others takes caring on our part to become good heart readers and to not prejudge people from their walk of life, nationality, background, or more importantly what other people have said that you heard or read. Make up your OWN mind.
We all are children of God and precious in His eyes.
Concentrate on the face and the eyes. Look for the smile, listen to what the voice says or what is written to you, read the face. Intently look into the eyes, the windows of the soul, and down into people's depths where love resides.
Beauty is definitely more than skin deep and if you focus on the face and the eyes you will see plenty of beautiful people out there. Beautiful inside. Where beauty endures. Start with family. Some of the most beautiful people are right there. There's six billion or more of them beyond your inner circle like I said so waste no more time. Start looking at faces and eyes!!
Look for that kindness, pure heart, love, strength of character, and inner peace that so many of your fellow human beings possess. All you have to do is look!!
