Yesterday I started practice with a question to the team about what is the hardest part of learning how to TALK, BTL style. I asked if they thought it was hardest learning how to speak CCD, learning how to listen like an animal being stalked, or learning how to ask curious questions like Leonardo. The answers were as varied as the audience. Always are…
The truth is that the hardest part is learning how to give another human your undivided attention. Giving anyone your FULL attention is always an act of LOVE. It just is.
Think about it. To be fully tuned into what another is sending you, you have to look them in the eyes, you have to lock into their language, study their body, and suspend all thoughts about your favorite topic…
Yourself.
Today, when you choose to be with the ones you love zip it up and tune ’em in. Give another your ears, your eyes, your mind, your heart and let them have your undivided attention. You just might send them more. More LOVE, that is.
Who knew listening, really listening has to be rooted in the L word. Who knew.
God, help me listen to those few that I love. God, help me listen to those few that are willing to tell me the truth. God help me listen to You.
God, help me hear…
