When in a conversation, quite often we do not realize that we are not good listeners. We have the tendency to occupy our brain thinking more about what we are going to say, about what our reply is going to be. In order to make the best of a conversation, to take advantage of all the benefits it can offer to us, we need to rewire our brain so we can concentrate more on what the other person is saying. It is all about attention and intention for listening effectively.
I am an optimist by choice, but contrary to Robert Muller, I think most of humanity is good, hard working, well meaning, loving, and caring. Poverty, inequality, injustice, lack of opportunity and education, are troublesome. Many people are working to overcome those problems. Friendship, cooperation, and solidarity are especially important for the survival of our kind. Omaira’s newsletter on listening is great. Listening with intention and attention allows us to communicate, share and understand other persons thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Sharing improves life in society. Listen, listen, listen. The world is with us… Omaira: I hope you will write again after a pause. I enjoyed your newsletters. Thanks very much.
Thank you Omaira for vulnerably putting yourself out there and sharing some of what you've gleaned from the world by listening to it. Thank you as well for leading by example by choosing to listen to your heart about this newsletter. Your mindful, heart-filled writing will stay with me.
Are we listening?
For my future newsletters I will be writing them once a month instead of once a week. The next one then, is going to be in a month from now.
I appreciate so much the support and encouragement I have received. Thanks .
