When’s the last time you listened to yourself?
When is the last time you took a moment to let your inner voice be heard?
I read something this week that really hit home to me. It just rang true in so many ways, and something that going forward, I will consider even more with every decision I make. The following is simplicity in itself, because it rings true to how we should look at how and what we do. It doesn’t get any better than this.
“It’s true though isn’t it. What would you advise your kids to do? You have their best interests and you would really mean the advice you gave them and you’d want them to take it. Are you looking after yourself as well as what your advice would be to them. If not consider why”.
When you adopt this, and listen to yourself you will gain clarity and also momentum in life. You will find your decision making process so much clearer and rewarding.
Don’t listen to what you think people want to say, don’t say what you think people want to hear. Instead say what you need to, and listen to what you need to - with both, filter out everything that risks clouding any decisions you might make.
People who don’t listen, will eventually be surrounded by people with nothing to say.
One of the sincerest forms of respect is actually listening to what others have to say. It starts with yourself…
