I thought this was very interesting...

"...are we interested in hearing their perspectives or are we more interested in sharing our own perspectives?

Do we want to understand the situations from their viewpoints or do we want them to understand our viewpoints?" 
from the book, "When to speak up and when to shut up," by Dr. Michael D. Sedler

This is a good reminder to listen. Truly listen. Then maybe what we share will be shown with more patience, love, and understanding. Listen and then share instead of just reacting.

Really moving...
