In today's world, there are thousands of noises that we hear; chatter of the everyday and people that we interact with. How often though are you listening, opposed to just hearing. The benefits of effective listening are vast, including picking up on positive signs that relate to unanswered questions. By merely paying attention, we will start to realize that many answers are right in front of us. This also goes for listening to ourselves when physically and mentally we are feeling great or like we should retreat. Pay attention to yourself and spend more time on listening.
