Day 28

Day 28 - Listening

Imagine what is possible when we approach each conversation as an opportunity for learning.

Think about a time when someone truly listened to you and your feelings.
How did you know that they were listening and focused on only you?
How did it feel to have someone’s full attention on you?
How does it feel to listen without interrupting, without giving advice and without changing the story to fit your own life?

Practice being fully present with your conversations today.
Give the other person your full attention without thinking about other things or how you might respond to them.
Look directly at the person who is speaking and listen with your heart.

“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.”

“I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.”

“Part of being successful is about asking questions and listening to the answers.”

“There is a difference between listening and waiting for your turn to speak.”

“If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.”

“Listening is a master skill for personal and professional greatness.”

“An enemy is one whose story we have not heard.”
