Listening is the single most important part of communication - hands down - no debate.

The second most important part is to do your listening slowly, by which ; I mean, really take in what was said before you react (say the first thing that pops into your head).

Your reaction (comment) could do one of three things - the first two are critically important:

1. Your reaction (comment) could tear someone down (even if you didn't mean to).

2. Your reaction (comment) could build someone up (this is always the way to go).

3. It could go by with no effect whatsoever.

I find that when someone hurts another with a quick reaction to something that was said - no harm was meant. They simply responded quickly to something that was said. DON'T downplay this kind of hurt, it could and to frequently does - cut to the core of another's very heart.

Remember! When communicating. Listen fully. Think (take in the words spoken) slowly. Respond only in a way that can build someone up.

#"False dreams fail us, lost dreams derail us, stolen dreams demoralize us. The dream is everything so don’t be surprised by the myriad of distractions, challenges, and adversities during the treasure hunt. Keep looking, keep hoping, keep listening to your heart, and keep seeking the pure glimpses of heaven all around you as you seek your dream. And once you find it, hang on to it and let it be a light that awakens another." ~ David L. Cook

"I believe greatness is revealed in the unorthodoxy of life. It is in thinking out of the box labeled ‘comfort zone’ that we discover truth. Our box is nothing but a self-imposed prison, a trap set for unsuspecting souls. My passion in life is to set people free from their boxes.…" ~ David L. Cook

Before you know it. Your life will be nearing retirement age. Do you really want to look back and realize that you never pursued your dreams; or realized true happiness in that large part of your life - you spent at work? Life is too short - unhappiness at work is shared (sometimes unconsciously) with those you love.

Pursue your dreams and passions, realize happiness and true fulfillment.

Your life isn't about work (or it shouldn't be), it's about the passion and dreams that your blessed to have, dreams and passion are a true gift - meant to drive you towards the true meaning of your life.

What if everything you are going through is preparing you for what you ask for.

“…When you forget about yourself and focus on those with whom I cross your path, your performance (in business, life, or sport) will soar and you will live fearlessly, knowing neither failure nor victory has any hold on you. When you choose this path you will find life; you will be filled to overflowing with what victory can’t deliver. You will be relentlessly competitive yet full of grace, tenacious yet full of peace. And if you trust me (God) instead of resisting you will receive soul freedom.…” ~ David L. Cook

“…your vocation is your platform. It is a place for sowing seeds of light, hope, and life. You will speak greatness into many as I flood you with insight. You will live life as a noticer as you listen to me. You will bring life where there is death, light where there is darkness, hope where there is pain, and freedom to those trapped in fear. When you choose this path you will find life, you will be filled to overflowing with what victory can’t deliver…” ~ David L. Cook

A person wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle. ~ Benjamin Franklin

Lets try to focus on those in need; it could be as little as a smile, a warm greeting, opening the door for someone. We just need to look for opportunities to serve others.

We look into mirrors but we only see the effects of our times on us - not our effects on others.
