Here’s a profound quote that highlights the importance of listening with an open mind.
“To listen is to lean in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we hear.” – Mark Nepo
Like a windshield, our preconceived notions, beliefs and judgments can block the essence of what other person is trying to say.
When we listen with a closed mind, we absorb only what we think we should know
When we listen with an open mind, we absorb the essence of what other person is saying.
Next time you are in a conversation, listen intentionally. Listening is an art that builds our connection with others.
