The art of being a good listener

A friend once asked me to explain the difference between hearing and listening. I told her the difference is that when we listen to someone we are engaging ourselves to truly learn what he or she is trying to relate to us, rather than just hearing words coming out of someone’s mouth and hearing what we want to hear instead.

Overcoming Fear

Holiday seasons is a time for celebration and joy, however, it can also be fairly challenging when we are confronted with memories of yesteryear when we reminisced events, situation, and people in our past.

Time is a luxury we all have

Have you ever wondered sometimes that we seemed to always be in a hurry to make a quick decision because we think if we do not, we would simply missed an opportunity of a lifetime. However, when we do make that quick decision, we sometimes find ourselves in a quandary. Perhaps this is a good food for thought...
