BENEFIT of Listening = Peace of Mind

 "At times we listeners must dig deep within ourselves to move beyond our own judgements and opinions.”-Rosemary Zibart

In life we as people are very busy. We have multiple distractions. Distractions such as cell phones, computers, Ipods and television. One important benefit of listening is that it creates peace when conducted properly. Through communication where both sides are listened to we are able to create peace. Also we are never at peace but through listening we are not thinking nor speaking rather we are keeping both ears open to the words of the speaker. When you are not listening you are not learning. When you are not listening you are preventing opportunity. The fact that you do not listen reveals the reality that your mind is closed. When you are not listening you are preventing intelligence.  What could be more important then achieving peace?
