Listening has become a lost art. Nothing reveals character faster than a conversation.
People often mistake talking for connecting. They aren’t the same. Real connection is built in the pauses…in the questions…in the genuine curiosity to understand another person’s inner world without rushing to tell your own story…to exercise empathy, and to cultivate true meaning between two people who are exploring each other…
The fastest way to make someone feel invisible is to interrupt the story they’re trying to tell…Be mindful that being heard is one of the purest forms of connecting…and eventually…being loved…
The questions we ask reveal far more about our character than the stories we tell…
As in the “eye of the tiger,” I am observing it all…
I’ve learned to observe less what a man says about himself and more how genuinely curious he is about my inner world.
Your intuition often speaks loudest while someone else is talking.
Curiosity is one of love’s earliest expressions.
Shhhhh…Ask. Listen. Respond.
Love and blessings,
Wendy
