When you speak, what are you presupposing? What is the desired outcome that your words are calling forth into reality?
When you listen, are you hearing what the other person is saying or reading into that with your own filters? Are you thinking of how to respond, or are you actively engaged in listening to create safe space for others to bear their soul?
Words may only be words, but they have the power to uplift or to crush one’s spirit. And that means everything!
The beauty is that you get to decide how you control and align your own thoughts, words, and actions to be there for others in an uplifting, empowering way. Thank you for doing that.
