Notice how quiet it gets when you simply listen.

Can’t Hear The Noise
While some people are going through turmoil, others are completely unaware and getting on with their life.
While some markets are collapsing and personal Armageddon is unfolding, other folks are blissfully unaware and going on a picnic.
I hope this note finds you well. Because I can’t hear or see the turmoil or pain in your life at the moment, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. You will be resilient. These trying times are just a test.
Like snakes and ladders, there are ups and downs. Few people like riding down the snake but you’ll be on your way back up in no time. Who knows, there may even be a ladder lurking where you least expect it to help you back up and on your way.
Hear Say
It is incredible how situations can spiral out of reality. People hear and then say their version. Not the identical story. We accept the words and context that we want, that are most convenient or suit us. Then we adjust everything in our minds, mixed with our own views. Then we send it back out into the world for someone else to interpret.
It’s a fascinating process. It really should be a skill taught in primary school and then again at higher levels. Our world is based on communication and it seems many people are more interested in influence than communication.
Hear Say. But assess it first.
