What are you good at?
I’m a good listener. I don’t always need to hear myself talk. As a counselor, I would listen. I let people talk. I let people work things out through my listening and their talking.
As a mom, I listened to my child. I could hear what was said between the lines, Listening requires patience. Listening requires keeping still the voices in my head. Listening requires getting out of self and focusing on others.
Listening kept me safe in a violent world. Listening is a part of situational awareness. Knowing when to move forward or retreat.
It’s a practice that can help guide one through life and it’s a gift. I am grateful that I am good at it.
