Listen Carefully!


Daily Grind – Listen Carefully! 3/15/2013

As we wind down the end of this week, we should cultivate our listening skills. One of the main reasons that drama knocks on our door is because we have refused to listen and instead, jumped to conclusions. I challenge you today to listen carefully by not only concentrating on what is being said but paying attention how the message is being delivered. If we develop the ability of actively listening with our EARS and our HEARTS, we can change a volatile situation into an opportunity for peaceful exchange. Keep in mind that anytime that we communicate, our ultimate goal is to obtain understanding. It is time that we go back to the basics by putting down our mobile devices and lifting our heads to pay attention to what others are saying. Only then will we begin to see our relationships flourish and our stress levels decrease. Listen carefully and Be Great!

Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. ~Karl A. Menninger
