Listen to Love :: Love to Listen

Do we REALLY Listen? Do we REALLY HEAR what is being said, and more importantly, MEANT? Listening involves focusing on the speaker and his/her words. Then, trying to understand the speaker's perspective. Be objective and open. THINK LATER (about your reply); LISTEN NOW. Eye contact is imperative for effective one-on-one communication... A nod or a smile is a quiet gesture that conveys your interest, without interrupting. Listening to someone, and understanding, is one of the greatest gifts you can give today... Go ahead! Try It! You'll probably notice a smile of appreciation or an added sparkle in the speaker's eye... Listening is superb for building self-esteem in children, (teens, and adults) too!
Love is what we demonstrate when we truly listen.
Inspire is what we do when we encourage another's ideas.
Strengthen the bond in ANY relationship, simply by LISTENING...
Teach by listening... No Kidding! Ask questions... Listen CAREFULLY... Direct/Share accordingly!
Encourage truthfully, with sincerity and grace.
Need... We all need each other; show the people in your life their importance to you by just listening...
