Those who practice listening find it to be one of the most powerful and influential factors in human relations. It is a magnetic and creative force.

In fact, those who listen to us are the very ones toward whom we move. Listening to us creates us, unfolds and expands us. Ideas begin to grow and come to life within us.

The same happens when we listen to others with an attentive, uncritical ear. Listening recharges us so that we never get tired of each other. We are re-created. —Kelly Bennett

Research shows that people speak to the person's needs in a conversation only 3% of the time. That means 97% of the time we're more occupied with our own feelings than the feelings of the person we're talking to.

Communication is not always easy. In fact, for some of us, listening is a matter of difficult discipline. I'm like that. I'm a natural talker. But I learned long ago to hold back and give the other person a chance to talk.

He or she is going to listen to me a lot better if I listen first. There's a saying I like: “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. ”

And nothing expresses genuine caring as much as looking into a person's eyes and listening to his or heart. —Dexter Yager

Let us be creative and listen; listen to God, to others, to ourselves. —Kelly Bennett
