ARE YOU LISTENING?

ARE YOU LISTENING?

When others speak, do you listen fully or is your mind engrossed elsewhere?

When a friend is in need do you give your undivided attention, or see to your own selfish needs firstly?

And when you give your heart do you withhold a little unto yourself - just in case?

Caution may save your life and perhaps prevent much heartache; but there are times in life when we should jump straight in (feet first) allowing the cautionary heart to follow.

Sometimes the risk, the time, the heartache and the thanks are the tools that teach us to listen attentively when others are speaking surreptitiously from the soul.
