Listen more, than speaking

Listen to what’s not said - this has been the best piece of advice given to me, so far. It doesn’t matter who gave it to me, but I received it exactly at a time when I felt I wasn’t able to listen, even to myself. Sadly, our world encourages us to speak a lot more than listen, but what seems to be true, is only when one listens effectively, can one speak effectively, and this applies to the self as well. When I began practising (yes it takes practice) to listen with intent and curiosity, I could communicate effectively, I could stay authentic to my truth, I could empathise better, I could comprehend and learn incredible things about myself and people and I could take intuitive decisions.

So listening allowed me to tune into my inner world, which transformed the way I thought and most of all, the way I spoke.
