Listening: A Powerful Tool Taken For Granted

Do you Listen? I don't mean are you silent while others talk; but do you REALLY listen to what they are saying? I think that is truly something that continues to help me both professionally and personally. I listen. Not to the words they actually say - but more often to the things they do NOT say.

There are a host of people that find it very difficult to share things that are difficult for them. Whether that be something as popular as pronoucing certain words or if it is something something more hidden, like the types of silent thoughts they have. Things they are saying to themselves that are unproductive to their future success. I wanted to take a moment today to encourage those of us that are able... to LISTEN. Your ears matter much more than you think. Our mouths will know how to respond when we allow our ears to step up to the plate and cease the day.
