It's been awhile since I wrote anything, well because we've been on holiday, we've moved and we've been working. So it's been mental. Tonight was the first night I got to relax and look at some stuff on the interweb, and I found this quote from a woman photographed by Humans of New York.
“When I was younger, I thought listening was just about learning the contents of someone’s mind. I’d always try to finish their thoughts, just to show them that I knew what they were thinking. As I got older, I learned to listen better. I realized that by trying to anticipate their mind, I was ignoring their heart.”
What a great lesson. I'm so guilty of this, and always thought that I was connecting with people but I guess I have some learning to do....
Age and wisdom!
