Everyone's heard the old saying,
"God gave us two ears and one mouth."
But few people have ever truly mastered the art of using those two ears more than that one mouth. In every relationship, listening is one of the most important ingredients for successful communication. Whether you're connecting with friends, parents, that special girl/guy, or even just casual acquaintances, try to be intentional about actively listening to them as you chat. Focus your energy on understanding rather than on being understood. The quality and depth of your relationships will skyrocket over time,
& you'll be a better friend for it!
