On a recent flight when they started to tell me how to tighten my seatbelt, I thought…
I have heard this before.

We stop tuning in.
We stop seeing them with fresh eyes.
We fill our heads with our own assumptions about what they’re going to say.
We look at them with yesterday’s judgments.
Half-hearing as the words flow out of them.
We stop listening.

Who deserves to be listened to in your life right now?
Really listened to?
Every day we get a new chance to be a more amazing human being than yesterday. So… go be amazing today.
When you start to really listen, your conversations will start to change. And perhaps your relationships too. In time.
