Do We Really Listen?

Have you ever really listened to yourself? Do you listen to yourself as being open minded and objective? Do you notice that in most conversations you already know or you are right about an issue? Or is your mind always justifying or invalidating others?

Perhaps you are not aware that how we listen to ourselves and others is limited by filters from our pre-existing notions and ideas – by our upbringing, our values and past experiences.

In my experience, once I realized that I was listening to others from knowing everything and being right, I woke up and became aware that my life was not working.

I also became aware that I was not enjoying life because my mind was never quiet. I was always thinking about something in the past or dreaming about how someday in the future I would attain all my intentions and be happy.

I was not enjoying the present moment; therefore, my relationships, my business and my well being suffered. Then I learned to listen from a quiet mind. This allow me to be present and to experience others in way that was not possible in the past.

Today I can feel and see that whatever shows up in conversations with others (good or bad) is my creation. The result is that people, situations and my approach to life have altered in a way that allows me to experience happiness now and support others in being happy and fulfilled.
