The Need to Listen
The need to listen is art, a
gift from God. There is much behind the words of wisdom you were provided
with 2 organs to listen and only one to speak. No one likes to here a version affecting oneself that is counter
to one’s own thinking. Everybody makes mistakes; we have all been there. So
how do we pass our lessons in life on to loved ones without stepping on the preverbal
“toe”? With care, compassion, and empathy, how many times has
someone who cares told us what to do? What was your reaction? For most over time
they were proven right, but in some cases, at what cost? Sometimes it is better
to plant the seed, than to force a course of action, thus raising anxiety in a
young soul. So one may learn and arrive at what you desire by their own
choice, rather than the fast track of shoving an opinion that may right and in the end,
but the result breaks a relationship or connection. The prudent choice,
may allow the passage of time to be ill relevant as it is not as important as the
lesson learned.
