My Favourite Quote
“You can hear something 1000 times but you may not learn it until you’re ready.” - Chynna
It never hurts to repeat those wise words to yourself and those around you. We may hear each other but we aren’t always listening. Sometimes the intended message slips and we continue to live our lives in the dark until the message comes back around to lighten our load. By being aware of this, we can become better listeners and better learners.
