Looking Back on How to Listen

Rewind the vhs tape back about twenty years or so and we come to this fork in the road called 'LISTENING'
 

LISTENING
When my mother said to determine the way that a man will love you is to look at how he treats him mother and the relationship that they have.

LISTENING
When the people at work climb the corporate ladder to keep the same attitute because when they fall short they must cross the same people climbing down.

LISTENING
Friends are a commodity and when they are around don't take them for granted by hanging out with those who take you for granted

LISTENING
When you are fed up and saying that you are going to leave this man that doesnt respect you but two years pass, four years, and then it will be ten years from now and you are still saying you are going to leave.

LISTENING
Never depend on anyone treating you as good as  you treat yourself. No one will take care of you like you. 

LISTENING......sometimes is better then always talking all the time.  You cannot talk and listen at the same time so try practicing the one that will gain you more insight.  

I sometimes think about all the converations that my mother and I had over the years and I was trying to think of the one that has served me best.  The one that really stands out in my head is Pray and Put Family First.  She would always say that friends will let you down and wont always be there for you but family, regardless of our differences will have your back.
