I came across another great quote on the benefit and power of listening. How can you use this in your life today?
Listen “completely”
motivational thought
2 ears…1 tongue
What a simple yet powerful statement.
What have you learned as you have listened more this month?
Are we really listening?
What is Effective Listening? This quote below give a great example:
How often do we just listen with the intent to ANSWER? What would be different in your conversations and relationships if you listened with the intent to understand…and THEN respond?
How many of us have had these types of conversations before?
What happens when we listen to “understand”?
What a great quote. I am sure we have all heard something similar to this, but I really feel that if we focus on listening to others to “understand” and not just to “respond” we will discover and uncover things that we may not have noticed had we not been truly listening.
How can listening to understand assist you today?
Are you interested in becoming a better listener? I work with people to assist them in expanding their abilities to listen to themselves and others…and create the lives, relationships, and passions they are looking for. Please message me if you would like to have a free 30 minute coaching session to explore the possibilities 🙂
What’s the deal with Listening?
How many of you can relate to the quote below? I know that I can.
I am constantly working on being a better listener. I try to focus on this in my work, with my wife and children, and in my community.
This month I am going to study how listening can assist us in life.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback.
Tough times and Character
Can tough times build our character?
Depends on how we respond to the tough times doesn’t it?
Worry about your character
I love this quote about character that I came across this morning!
Are you doing your best?
One big thing that has stuck out to me this week in regards to “character” is that our character can assist us in doing our best…and when we do our best, our character gets stronger as well.
So the question to ask today is…Are you doing your best to build the the life you want?
For me…I feel that I can answer YES to this question everyday this week, except for yesterday. I let a situation get under my skin and didn’t show the character that I wanted. The great thing about this experience though is that I was aware of it…and next time I am in that situation I am going to act differently and show my true character.
Please take a minute and watch this quick video!
What is your legacy…your mark?
One of the themes I have been hearing on my calls this month is the desire to leave a legacy…a mark on the world.
To me this is another sign of character. When we do something because of the difference we want to make in the lives of others, it defines and refines our true character. The quote below hits this idea perfectly.
What are your plans to leave your mark today?
I help people discover the mark they want to leave on the world and assist them in putting a plan in place to accomplish their goals. If you or someone you know is looking for that type of support please comment or message me. I would love to talk with you about how I may be able to assist.
Get back up!!!
Can our character help us get back when we are faced with frustration and disappointment?
ABSOLUTELY!!! We are all faced with frustration, discouragement, and disappointment…but if our character is strong enough…we will always get back up and try again.
