Yesterday, during a conversation, I caught myself waiting to reply rather than truly listening. So I slowed down — and listened fully. Not just to words, but to tone, pauses, and what was left unsaid. In that moment, the exchange deepened, becoming more real, more human.
Listening is one of the quietest forms of love. It tells someone, you matter, your words have space here. When we listen with presence, we don’t just hear — we connect.
Today, practice the art of listening. Give someone your full attention — or even listen inwardly, to your own thoughts and emotions. Notice how it changes the moment.
True listening requires stillness, humility, and care — but in return, it brings understanding, connection, and peace.
