Stop and Just Listen

It's shocking how so many people in the world want to be heard but none of them take the time out to hear what is being said.

We all need to learn how to simply listen. People are very opinionated and fast to give out advice before fully hearing out another person. They are quick to respond without getting all of the facts, details or ideas behind what's actually being communicated they interject with comments, opinions and advice that's sometimes unwanted and not even asked for.

We all can take a minute to slow down and just listen to everything that someone has to say before writing them off or responding to hastily.

The important thing about listening that people are acting like they don't know is if you are talking while another person is then you ARE NOT LISTENING.

If you respond to someone before they HAVE COMPLETED THEIR sentence then YOU ARE NOT LISTENING.

If your mind is wandering the whole time some one is talking and you are just nodding in aggreeance then YOU ARE NOT LISTENING.

Listening is a very important skill that we all need to harnace and develop. The first thing to being a good listener is to SHUT-UP while another person is talking and JUST LISTEN!

If we practice listening and not just hearing we all will be better communicators.
