We hear this as a gracious “Arabic” reply to the question “want me to bring something” (on my way)… but what about we take it literally?
According to Susan Scott (the author of one of the most enticing writings on powerful conversations), if we want to “enrich our relationships”, “tackle rough issues” or even “provoke some learning” while we are with important people in our lives, we must arrive (to any conversation) with empty hands “bring nothing but yourself ” she says…
On reflecting on this… its also about being in our truth… maskless and authentic… so maybe its more like “bring nothing but your real-self” to the conversation, or it will stagnate and wither… the relationship-that is-
So what exactly do we leave behind, conclusions (how many of us arrive at a conversation with a predetermined agenda…), generalizations, and worst of all, advice…ughhh!
However, if you insist… bring along some genuine curiousity and eye contact… both will surely spice up any evening…
Enjoy everyday!
