t is that time again!! I have been getting a lot of emails wanting to know when I would do another Ask Michael so here it is.
This is your chance to ask me whatever you want. What would you like to know? What would you like me to talk about? What random questions would you like me to answer for you?
I promise this time I will answer them in a unique way…
Don’t be shy and ask a question…or 2…or 5…

The age old debate: if our bedroom is our place of rest, should there be a t.v. in the room?
What is your advice when two people want two separate important things? For example, when one wants kids and the other doesn’t.

Let me know how it feels to be in the caretaker position with your older sibling in the hospital………since you are the baby of the family and usually the one that is taken care of? You are doing a great job, by the way.

I know this might be completely out of what your line of topics, but I would like to hear your comments on: If someone is having the opportunity to be ‘relocated’ from Central America to the USA with the company, what would you say is safe to ask as far as an income? How much would a single person need to have a decent way of life in Miami? By decent I mean, food on the table, rent a probably small but nice place, electricity, gas, phone, the occasional entertainment, work clothes, etc. etc. What is the most important thing a person should know about living in the States? This person has been to Miami several times, but on vacation only.
Thanks!

Brittney,
It comes to communication doesn’t it. Sometimes we spend our time seeing what we want, we forget to see what and why the other person wants something.
In my life, I always make sure I take the time to less debate what I want (because I am clearly understand what and why I want it.) and take the time to ask a lot of questions on what they want. This allows me to see opportunities when we agree on the same things. This allows me to understand where they are coming from.
This also allows me to see where I can find solutions for us to collaborate or compromise.
Now I also know there are times when we can not always get our way. I always take this as a moment where I need to reflect how important is this to me, how is important it is it to me right now, will I be able to move on and let this go.

Pat,
Seems like someone knows me very well.
Yes it was a week of taking care of my older sister as she heals. I didn’t realize how hard it would be for me to see my own fears and have to deal with them around surgery again.
I also noticed how strong I am when it comes to helping others. I always feel that because I lead with my heart I am not always the best in these situations but I have learned that is my greatest strength.
Thank you so much for the acknowledgement. I appreciate it!
