So you trying to wait for a chance to jump into the conversation for me to stop talking or for you to cut me off so that you can say what it is that you want to say. And we find this in all relationships, right? So in friendships, in relationships with parents and children, in relationships with mothers, with mothers and fathers, in relationships with siblings, we find this in the church, right? This can be in the church, too. It can happen in the church

And that's when you're talking about, you're more focused on what people are saying, like the context of what they're saying than what's not being said. So that's when you are paying attention to around you. You're paying attention to, you're really focused on their mannerisms because you're reading between the lines, basically. And so these are like the different steps of listening. And we really do have to listen instead of hearing to respond

And it didn't matter if it was one on one conversation, a group session, an argument, it didn't matter. I just was waiting to speak. So I'm no longer that way. But what I struggle in is looking to give advice and looking to help and to assist. And a lot of times, people don't want to hear that. In fact, you put up a swell yesterday about your job

And interestingly, this actually was one of my first wellcast topics that I did last year when I actually joined the swellcast family. So basically what I said was that when you listen, whatever is being said is actually sinking into your mind and in your heart, but more so when you hear. It's like whatever is being said is going in one ear and out the other

And I try to keep that on the minimum because I know some people try to say that I'm aggressive and all this kind of stuff. Once people get to know me, they realize that a lot of the things that they thought about me originally just aren't true. And then conversely, some things that they didn't think were true. But, yeah, thank you again for replying and for listening

Do we really need to do that? And so if you haven't checked that out, check that out. I'm going to go over there and check it out as well. And I hope people go to your profile and check out your swell on this topic, because the more we talk about it, the better, hopefully, that we will become in doing it right. And we won't just talk about it, but we'll actually put it into practice. And that's what counts
