How can I become a better listener? Well, if my mouth is moving, I am not listening. If I am thinking about my response while they are talking, I am not listening. If I am not giving them my full attention, I am not listening. To listen better, listen deliberately. Tune your whole self--eyes, ears and heart--to the person who is speaking. Listen so well that you could explain their point of view to someone else, even if you disagree with it. Understanding begins when we stand and look where others stand and look.
“If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.” Prov.18 Conversations Within” ts 1/27/2017
