Talk is cheap, or is it?

Finally am back after a long long, hiatus. I was actually really busy and free at the same time, but that's details for another blog entry. Let me get through this one first.

What do i mean by "talk" ? I do a whole lot of talking in my life. Being a trainer , therapist ,actor, director, producer, all aspects of my life involves an immense amount of talking. So people would say things like," oh he is a great talker","his words inspire me" and so on and so forth. Well this is not me blabbing bout myself, so read on. The truth is, I am a listener. I am always tuned to frequencies of people, by listening. My experience as therapist is rather new, (4 years at the max). But the important thing i found out is that people just want someone who will listen.

And no one ever just does that! Everyone insists on delivering their point of view, so much so that they are always overlapping one another in their communication. When you listen to what people have to say, i mean really listen, the smallest answer you give to them in return will be worth it's weight in gold, simply because they know whatever next that comes out of your mouth will be influenced from what you have listened.

It may bore you sometimes, but by learning to communicate this way, i have discovered the world to be a better place. All that people want is someone to listen to their view, You don't have to like it, or even respond to it.

Just listen!

Everything and everyone is always telling us something. Just close your mouth and open your ears, and really listen. This single action will transcend ones existence into a higher plane, because now, you have fulfilled one of your many destinies for being born as a human being, to lend ones ear to another beings plight. Your ears do not belong to you, they belong to all those who need to talk. So listen, talk may be cheap, but failing to listen just makes it worthless.
