LIFE: 10 reasons you should listen more

1. People don’t always need advice.
Sometimes all they really need is a hand to
hold, an ear to listen, and a heart to
understand them.

2. One of the best feelings in the world is
when someone remembers something you
said. Whether is was something yesterday, a
week ago, a month ago...it’s just like “wow,
you actually listen to me”

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

4. Listen to you own voice, your own soul. Too
many people are deafened by the noise of the
world.

5. When someone is going through a storm,
you silent presence is more powerful than a
million words.

6. Ears that do not listen to advice, accompany
the head when it is chopped off.

7. Listen carefully to how a person speaks
about other people to you. This is how they
will speak about you to other people.

8. The meaning behind the words, the feeling
is more significant than the words themselves,
so…listen.

9. Speak in such a way that others love to
listen to you. Listen in such a way that others
love to speak to you.

10. Listening is a great way of receiving gifts of
wisdom, intelligence and inspiration. If you are
not listening, you are not learning.
We have two ears and one mouth so that we
may listen twice as much as we speak.
