Listening is Greater than Hearing

There are times we have a lot on our mind.

In those times we "hear" the words coming out of people's mouth however are we truly listening?

Not just listening, listening with intention.

Last night, while having a holiday dinner during the Seahawks game, I specifically asked the server to not tell us the score of the big game.

About 25 minutes later he came over excited to give us an update. "The score is 9-0 with the 49ers leading."

I couldn't believe he was telling us the score. Not only that, he was excited about it, as if he was doing exactly what we had requested.

This can happen when communicating with our family members, teachers, or coworkers, which can cause minor to serious problems.

Anytime someone is speaking to you don't just hear them, truly listen - they may have something important to say.
