I found a letter on the sidewalk of a soul. I read it and learned something, and I hope you do too.
Listen with your eyes.
To you,
I don’t plan on winning through an argument. I plan to win through my actions, and it’s starting now, but first, a few words.
Experience teaches a lot, so I know your stubborn nature will cease once you get [expletive] thrown your way. I’ve been there and I’ve done that. I’m just waiting for you to reach and cross the lines that I’ve crossed for you to understand what I’m saying.
Don’t just hear me out. Don’t hear my words now and listen to them later. Listen. Because in life, it all boils down to who listens the most.
Hearing is different from listening; don’t make the same mistake twice.
Sincerely,
A Handcuffed Soul
An action – in this case the act of listening – is a better tool than arguing in order to gain leverage or to win. Do the right act – listening instead of hearing – and you will see positive results in relationships. Demonstrate, don’t explicate.
