today’s mantra : i pledge to slow down and listen to others while equally requesting others to slow down and listen to me. 🙏🏽
one day mid-pandemic and #blm a distraught woman came into my office at work. she was explaining her situation. she was lost and depressed and sad. she stated, “i need u to see me.” i simply replied, “i see you.”
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most people listen with the intent to reply.
Steven R. Covey
wouldn’t we all feel so much better if we slowed down to ‘see’ others around us? really see them…their pain, their hard times, their sadnesses?
equally, wouldn’t it feel amazing to be ‘seen’ in every conversation? our anxieties clear. our hesitations felt. our secrets accepted.
it’s all about #love don’t you think? just more love. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
