LISTENING IS AN ART THAT REQUIRES ATTENTION OVER TALENT , SPIRIT OVER EGO .OTHERS INSTEAD OF SELF
I can be very opinionated and during a therapy session I was challenged to listen. Not just listen be there, be attentive . Be silent and don't listen to respond but to truly hear what the other person is saying.
To be understood and to understand where a person is coming from is one of the most amazing gifts you can give.
Communication is key. The lack their of causes a distance that can only be filled with understanding.
The human in us sometimes want to try fix, to save , to improve , to rescue.
However, some people need to hit rock bottom for them to truly want to be helped .
Sometimes we have to learn the lesson .
Sometimes we have to let them learn without us interfering in their process.
I was once asked, " Who told you that you where created to specifically be their savior. You are only hindering their learning process ."
Word I can only now share with you and hope that you understand sometimes all you need to do is be quiet . Be present . Be there to just listen and do nothing else
