You must keep an open mind to listen and seek to understand what they are actually sharing with you.
It is more than what is intoned.
It is more than what they say.
It is more than you think.
It is more meaningful than you will ever know.
Maintain this perspective throughout your life and it will serve you well. Keeping an open mind to listen is especially helpful for parents and children of adults…you can’t parent them, but you should most definitely be ready to hear what they are saying to you – and ask why they are thinking this.
