Listen: Part 1 – Listen to Others
We all know the frustration of not being heard. Being heard makes us feel loved or at least valued. We all know people who don’t listen to a word we say, but demand to be heard.

Its definitely not easy, but it produces the best results on earth. Stop talking for change. Listen up!
