There are days when no matter what people say to us, we have difficulty understanding them. As hard as we try, we can't make sense of what they are saying. It seems like it was just the other day, when we were insinc. It's as if the other person is now speaking a foreign language. The more we talk, the more confused we have become. It's at this time, we may need to take a break and reflect on what is being said. Listening without judgement may be the first step in understanding what people are trying to say to us. Today, just listen. Be open to hearing what others are saying before you respond. You'll be surprised at how much you can learn when you're quiet.
Sometimes no words are needed...
(Sometimes I don't understand what people are saying to me because their reality is not mine. But I have to remember that I don't have to understand their reality. Being compassionate to those I don't quite understand is challenging, but they deserve to pursue their dreams in their own way.
