The next time you find yourself dining on someone's reputation, snacking on someone's feelings, or enjoying a steady diet of nothing except stories about yourself, remember you are talking with your mouth full.
Stop, close your mouth, and listen. It's the other person's turn.
To Practice This Thought:
The next time you notice you are dominating a conversation, give someone else center stage.
