“Every person in this life has something to teach me--and as soon as I accept that, I open myself to truly listening.” Catherine Doucette
Isn't it interesting how much time we spend on gift giving - birthdays, special occasions, holidays. What if? What if instead of searching for that perfect gift we dedicated that time and energy to listening to that person? What if we invited them give us a tour of their life? What if we embraced their world, exactly as it is, without criticism, without judgement, without expectations - with the soul purpose of simply accepting them, as they are?
“Listening is
a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us
are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us
unfold and expand.”
What amazing creations lie dormant in each of us...waiting...for someone to care...to ask...to share...to invite. How much richness is still waiting to be discovered? Listening to others, to their dreams, their hopes, their desires, their brilliance, their darkness...look inside yourself to discover the truth that lies in each of us. Sometimes changing the world is simply about making time to listen, to care,and to connect.
