What if, instead of shooting the messenger, we invited him in to find out what he or she had to say?? What if we didn’t judge his words as “negative” or “positive” and really listened?? What could we learn? We might learn a lot. In fact, we might really get to know what’s going on. So much so that we are in the best of all possible positions to make a life-altering decision, see the light, solve a daunting problem, take a really smart risk that pays off, open our hearts to a friend, forgive someone we love, make peace with an enemy or express the full measure of our love to a child. The power of tuning in, listening to and respecting ourselves....and then using what we learn to make every aspect of our lives better....cannot be underestimated.
