LISTEN Listening
Listening to someone is a great act of kindness.
It is an act of respect. It might appear to be passive,
but being a good listener is a skill that takes effort.
Being a great listener is an art, an art that you can learn
for the betterment of all those who will appreciate your listening
to them with your entire being. When we listen to someone, it is common for us to interrupt
before that person is finished. We are often busy, or distracted,
or bored. The skill of listening consists of focusing your total attention
on the person you are listening to. Think of a specific time when you were totally fascinated by
what someone was telling you. Remember how you leaned forward,
how your total attention was on the speaker.
You probably had eye contact or focused on the person's mouth
as the words flowed forth. Observe people who are great listeners. Look at their face.
Pay attention to their posture. Listen to the comments they make.
Model them and you will upgrade the quality of your own listening. Remember a time someone was interested in listening to what you had to say.
Remember how good it felt. Remember the specific details
that indicated to you that you were being listened to. The people who will gain the most from your listening are those
who are rarely listened to. These are people who suffer
and have a strong need to share their feelings with others.
They might have a tendency to repeat themselves.
Since their talking helps lighten their burden,
you are doing an act of kindness by listening.
When you are doing someone an important service,
your time is being well-spent... JaMs The Six-Letter Word ==================== I was taught a lesson that just six simple letters could make a difference. Those six letters made the word - SILENT. Those letters when rearranged also spell the word - LISTEN. I never truly understood that until the day I stood silent and learned there was more to life than everyday living. When you don't take the time to listen and be silent then everything is easily taken for granted. The things I wasn't silent for and listened for, I now miss the most. A simple I love you from my children. The request of a loved one that I was too busy for at the time. Little did I know, that if I stayed quiet and savored things, I could have imprinted their voices in my mind and made memories that would have lasted. The one thing I always will be thankful for is that I learned my lesson and heeded the call. But also that God truly is silent and listened for my every need, but in return if I'm silent, I can also hear from Him.......Written By JaMs
