“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”
~ Roy T. Bennett
People feel your thoughts and intention before they hear your words, my friend, and when your words don’t match what they feel, they’re left confused and feeling deceived. This is why honesty is always the best policy.
Plus, it takes a lot of attention and energy to cover up lies and deceptions. You can’t help but worry about being found out, right?
Be pure in your heart and relax, my friend, honesty and integrity bring peace of mind.
