Being a Good Listener

Morning Mantra: “Hearing is listening to what is said.  Listening is hearing what isn’t said.”I’ve always been a very good talker. I recognized that I wasn’t the best listener however, so I’m trying to be better.  If someone I care about comes to me to talk, I ask, “Do you need me to get involved, offer advice or just listen?”  9 times out of 10 their answer is “just listen.”The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen.Being a good listener means being fully present, and listening to understand, not to reply or tell your side of the story. It’s more difficult than it sounds, but such an important skill.#BeAGoodListener #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique
