With my iphone, I have infinite wisdom at my fingertips. I no longer need to possess all of the knowledge I once did; I can finally allow my brain to function as a processor, and not as a hard drive.

Forget about being the smartest man in the room. These days, I'm more interested in speaking with the most empathetic person in the room. I no longer see intellect as the most important or appealing quality in another human being; rather, I look for emotional intelligence.  

So don’t try to impress me with your facts and figures. Step outside of your comfort zone and reveal your heart and soul. Have an authentic conversation with me about your fears and anxiety, your hopes and dreams.

Don’t speak so robotically; don’t fill the silence with nonsense. Be deliberate in your word choice. It might feel awkward at first, but do your best to express feelings that you’ve never verbalized before. Blow your own damn mind, and maybe then you'll be able to blow mine.

It’s becoming next to impossible to relate to the people who still fit into the old paradigm; it’s like sticking an antique engine into a new make and model. So many people are shiny and sleek on the outside, but rusty and outdated on the inside.

Maybe I’m here as a conduit to help you experience who you truly are. But I can only help insofar as you help yourself. It would make my job a whole lot more fulfilling if you’d do yourself the favor of exploring the craziest possibilities of your wildest imaginings. That’s the stuff I’m interested in talking about at dinner parties.
