Hearing and listening aren’t always the same thing. Most of us hear what others say, but really listening with an open mind requires concentration and some degree of self-awareness. What we hear gets interpreted according to our beliefs and expectations and may be quite different than what’s intended. We can spin almost anything in a way that feels good or even hurts us, depending on how much we love and accept ourselves. Understanding this helps us listen to others with more compassion and take full responsibility for how we feel about…

Our own spin.
