What’s the trait you value most about yourself?
Like Lil Wayne once said, ‘many people may hear you when you speak but that doesn’t mean they’re listening to you’.
I have a tendency to just be quiet and listen to people and their problems. I listen so that I can understand a person. I don’t listen to hear you. I hear what you saying and I understand what you’re saying.
Being a good listener is also detrimental. I allow people to talk away, complain, and vent. But who do I go to? There’s one person who truly listens and actually understands but what happens when she isnt available? What do I do? Who else can I run to?
But I do value and take pride in listening, especially with my kids.
