Talking Without Listening

Greetings Beloved One,
Have you ever met someone who greeted you by asking you how you are and then never stopping to actually listen to your response before going right along with their conversation? Of course we have, because at some point we have all been that person!

Try actually listening the next time you ask someone how they are doing. Give them your undivided attention; ask them honest questions, show genuine interest.

And likewise, when someone asks you how you are doing, notice your responses. Are you giving pat answers or are you truly conveying what you are feeling, or what is present for you at the moment? And, when you take a look at your answers, what is it that you are focused on? The Good, the Bad or the Ugly I your life? Hmmmm?

. Practice listening today! To yourself and others!

Make it a valuable day!
Rev. Sylvia
