100 Reasons We love 1st Grade...
What Are the Enemies of the Habit of Listening?
1. Busyness--I just don't have time to listen.
2. Distractions--Is that my cell phone? I wonder what's being said over there?
3. Lack of Interest--I just don't care what this person is saying.
4. Selfishness--I want to talk about me!
One of the things Jay stated in his book was to make listening a habit. When you are with someone, make them your focus. Neglect everything else around you for that time. Look that person in the eyes and don't look at others. Watch for facial expressions, body and tone. Forget your cell phone!
I am guilty of all of the above mentioned. This is a journey for me but I continue to keep my door open when you need to talk. Maybe this will be a good reminder for you as well.
