Have you ever noticed how some people do all the talking? And that they’re usually the ones who are a little negative?
And how other people are really good listeners? And that they’re more often the ones who when they speak have something positive to say?
I was in a room recently in which a man took all the air out of the room by talking only about himself. I watched while other people tried to be polite and listen, or gently change the subject to include others in the conversation. They changed their body language to move away from the person and some just left the room.
I was in another room recently in which one person deftly engaged each of the others in the conversation, asking about their families, and so on. I watched as people moved closer together. This room was filled with what I call conversation generosity.
The loving thing to do with others is to be generous in your conversation. So love others enough to really listen instead of just waiting to talk as you Listen to Life so you Live Positive.
