“The less you talk, the more you’re listened to.” – Pauline Phillips
Most people at this point have already chosen a New Year’s Resolution for 2025. If you are looking for one still, or want to add one, I’ve got one for you: talk less. Too often, we spend most of the time just talking and not listening. People will often “speak their peace,” but with little to no room for those they spoke their peace to respond to what they have said. The person speaking their peace might feel good in the moment, but little has actually been done to change the situation. If you want something to think about or change for the better, we have to take the time to listen to what they have to say before and after we speak our peace. More change and reflection happen from listening than talking. Take a moment in 2025 and listen.
