Hearing vs. Listening

There's a difference between hearing and listening. 

The action is the same but our intent drives the result.

Being heard makes us feel safe, understood, and appreciated. 

Simply being listened to often leaves us feeling more frustrated than we were in the first place.

The amazing thing about hearing others is that we usually learn something about ourselves in the process.

Our bosses, teachers, parents, friends — they all listen to us. It's the ones who truly hear us that have the power to impact our lives for the better.
