Happy Twofer Tuesday, Superhero! (Listening)

7/21/2020

0 Comments

 
Today is about listening...

“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know.
But if you listen, you may learn something new.”

- Dalai Lama

“Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person.
You can call it compassionate listening.
You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart.”

- Thich Nhat Hanh

Picture
We all hear. Hearing is passive, our ears perceive sound and hearing simply happens. Listening is something we choose to do which requires presence, openness and acceptance.

Listening is caring. It is being willing to allow others to be who they are, say what they think, and feel what they feel without the immediate need to convert them to our point of view.

Listening is an art. Until we master it, most of us will listen with an intent to reply, rather than an intent to understand. We will spend our listening time thinking of things to say, rather than focusing on the content of what is actually being said. And, who is saying it.

Listening is being vulnerable. It is approaching conversations with an open heart and an open mind, curious to discover what the situation holds for everyone.

Wishing you a day of dazzling sights and sounds!

Fly on, Superhero.
Fly on!
