WHERE WE ARE WHEN IT COMES TO LISTENING IN OUR LIFE?
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
We really never never listen at all in
our life.
When your spouse speaks or when
your boss talks to you or when your
friend is talking to you. See exactly
what you are doing. You are not
listening. You are preparing your
answer to them. Even before they
start talking, you are preparing your
answer. That is why your answer
never matches their question –
because you never heard the
question!
At the most you do little stitching and tailoring for that question. Courage to respond spontaneously, to respond to all the situations and patience to listen is called practicing right Listening. For practicing right Listening you need right courage. You need to have patience. First thing you need to have courage that you can respond spontaneously and you need to have patience, deep patience.
