Not jumping to conclusions based upon previous comprehension, based upon current training is difficult. Listening with an open mind. Reinforcing a habit of reminding self comprehension is much less than ideal and listening can bring to light new details is Power.
They listened to me, they actually heard what I am saying, they made me feel less alone and more hopeful is a thought that can be generated via actions, asking the right questions, actively listening a little more and possibly jumping to conclusions based upon past comprehension a little less. Feels good to be able to generate thoughts of received well, of added value, potentially easy to forget about that Power.
When life throws too many curveballs, at least from personal experience, easy to get caught up in own experience without always trying to bring to light comprehension of other’s experience. Being invested has potential for a lot of value creation and has potential for being less obvious in difficult times.
