Listen to life
Stop worrying so much about what you're
trying to say, and listen for a while.
Though it may seem strange, one very
effective way to express yourself is by
listening.
Listen, carefully, lovingly and
attentively to the world around you.
Listen to others and listen to life.
Let go of your assumptions about what
you expect to hear. Listen not only with
your ears, but also with your heart and
spirit.
Pay attention to what life has to say to
you. There is no end to the valuable
lessons you can learn.
When you think you know it all, you deny
yourself the opportunity to learn new
things. When you interact with others
only to impress them with how much you
know, they'll soon understand that you
know very little.
The more you listen, observe and learn,
the more powerfully you'll be able to
express yourself. Take heed of what life
has to say, and what you learn will
carry you far.
-- Ralph Marston
