Every day we have a chance to be someone a little different.
Listen better. Love more. Treat ourselves to tea on the sofa in the afternoon.
Many of us don’t grab that opportunity. It slips by, never to be seen again.
I have a challenge for you: when you are talking with someone and think you have something to say, listen closer. Take time to think. We are all quick to have a response ready, especially when we disagree. We all forget - healthy discussion is about learning; not about winning.
Stephen Covey, author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People said it this way:
Seek to Understand First.
Go understand. Listen to the other side of the “coin.” And be patient as you help them understand your coin.
For in understanding, you will find answers.
