I think I am on the brink of discovering something wonderful. Before, I've thought, "How can I serve?", "How can I help?" but with the emphasis more on my self than on helping others. Was I really doing it for their sake? Or did it become all about ME telling my story or ME sharing what I know?
The discovery isn't a new one but it sure is profound: People want to be understood and listened to. They want others to take interest in their life. If I stop in my day and actually just listen to what they have to say, they actually want to talk about their lives!
Simple concept, but more meaningful than ever before.
