Are You a Good Listener?
The definition of listening is : to pay attention to someone or something in order to hear what is being said, sung, played, etc. : to hear what someone has said and understand that it is serious, important, or true : to hear something with thoughtful attention : give consideration Wow. What I took from this definition, is that I’m a HORRIBLE listener. Ha! This is most definitely something I am actively working on. There are so many distractions and “shiny objects” that exist to pull our attention away from where it should be. I’m not intentionally a bad listener. But I do have to intentionally work at it to be a good listener.
