Do you give your time and ear to listen to those who need it or
ask for it?
Has someone tried to talk to you, but you were busy? Or have you said, “I will talk to you later?" Be the person who can provide a landing spot for someone who just needs to talk. You never know when you can make a difference in someone else’s life.
I hope everyone is doing well or on their way to wellness. I have had several interesting conversations over the last 10 days. It is amazing what you can learn about someone through simple conversation. Sometimes we can learn about others who are experiencing pain, loss, grief, or who may have a special need we can assist with. Sometimes, people just need someone to listen to them. All that is required is a little time and a friendly ear.
One of the interesting things that often comes out of these types of conversations is that my problems seem a lot smaller than I originally thought. In addition to gaining perspective, there are times when listening to someone else simply cheers me up! Or I might say, “I needed to hear that today!" Does that ever happen to you? They share words or a story that are uplifting—those stories or experiences that give you goosebumps. Conversations are so important for our well-being and the well-being of others.
