The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

Sometimes, it's best to listen to the person we're talking to rather than us talking about ourselves the whole time. Yeah, it's so much fun to open up with somebody and let them get to know who you truly are, especially if you don't do that often. But maybe they don't either. Maybe they really need to get something off their chest. Maybe they really need to tell you something but can't even get a word in edgewise.
Shh, let them talk. Open your ears. Open your eyes. Sit back. Relax. And shut your mouth. Let your heart do the talking and listening and let your brain do the understanding and comprehending.
Then, when they're finished, you'll know exactly who they are, what they stand for, their cats name, and their grandmas favourite cookie recipe.
