When we listen with fear, we only hear the threat behind the words. We are not really listening. When we listen with our hearts, sometimes we miss the logic and let our emotions take over.
So it’s important to listen with empathy. We can step away from judgment that may be engaged with fear or heart. And we can really hear beyond the words. We can hear intent.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Listen for true intent, by bringing an empathetic ear. If we listen only with fear or heart, we may not really hear what we need to hear.
Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go!
