Listening is an art form.
It requires presence.
It requires intention.
When you listen intently, you honor the speaker.
Silence your thoughts; focus on their words.
Empathy transforms conversations into connections.
Ask questions; they show you care.
Listening creates trust.
It strengthens relationships.
Avoid distractions – leave your phone in the other room.
Give your full attention – avoid thinking about what you will say next.
Reflect back on what you hear; it clarifies your understanding.
In a world full of noise and distraction, be the calm.
We all need some level of calm.
Listening is a doorway to calm.
