‘What lovely, larger life becomes ours when we listen to one another.’– Naomi Shihab Nye

We get better when we listen to one another. We connect with other people when we listen. If you want to hear what others are saying, you must listen.

Listen. Listen. Love happens when we listen. Happiness increases when we listen. Listening is a mind builder.

‘Understanding does not occur when we try to intercept what someone wants to say to us by claiming we already know it.’- Hans- Geog Gadamer

Listening is more than just nodding your head. It is more than waiting to say something.

Listening requires your presence. If you are not there, you won’t hear what the other person is saying.

To know what is going on in your life, you must listen to yourself. If you want to know what is going on around you, you must listen.

If you are interested in what your people are doing, you must listen to them.

If you listen, you will hear. If you don’t, you won’t.

When you listen, you make people feel better about themselves. You are less likely to cause anxiety, pain, rejection, or resentment.

You can’t feel others if you don’t listen. According to Eckhart Tolle, ‘You cannot feel someone else’s Being except through your own.’ If you want people to feel your Being, you must listen to them. You can do it.
