“Recreational talking is, along with private singing, one of our saddest recent losses. Like singing, talking has become a job for trained professionals, who are paid considerable sums of money to do it on television and radio while we sit silently listening or, if we're truly lonely and determined, call the station and sit holding the phone waiting for a chance to contribute our two cents' worth.” IfsTwoJobsWaitingChanceLossTalkingTelevisionListeningSingingLonelyPaidPhonesRadioDeterminedStationsCentsSaddestTwo CentsTelevision And Radio Author:Barbara Holland

“Some people have an unconquerable love of riddles. They may have the chance of listening to plain sense, or to such wisdom that explains life; but no, they must go and work their brains over a riddle, just because they do not understand what it means.” PeopleMayMeanChanceBrainListeningRiddleUnconquerable Book:Seven Gothic Tales Source: Seven Gothic Tales
“We can preach the Gospel all day long, but that won't win souls. That won't win the hearts of the people. We can talk, try to theorize, theologize, reason, argue, debate, and spend time trying to prove that Jesus lived, but that won't win a heart. How often do we see the religious mindset that believes that the more Scripture quoting, the more yelling, the more hell fire and brimstone preaching, the greater the chance to win someone over for the Kingdom? Likewise, how often do we see people sitting or standing there listening in stone-cold silence or indifference?” PeopleTryingBelieveHeartLongSoulReasonJesusWinningReligiousChanceSilenceHellFireGreaterListeningColdProveSittingStandingStonesMindsetArguingDebateScriptureKingdomsIndifferencePreachingEnd TimesSpend TimeYellingStanding ThereQuotingHell FireStone Cold Book:Kingdom Rising: Making the Kingdom Real in Your Life Source: Kingdom Rising: Making the Kingdom Real in Your Life

“Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. Even if he says things that are full of wrong perceptions, full of bitterness, you are still capable of continuing to listen with compassion. Because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less.” IfsKnowsGivingHeartKindPersonsStillsHelpingPurposeSufferingChanceCompassionListeningPerceptionCapableEmptyBitternessCompassionateContinuingDeep Listening Author:Nhat Hanh
“Whatever you think The Uni-verse is withholding from you, YOU are withholding from The Uni-verse. If you think that The Uni-verse isn't answering your prayers, chances are you aren't listening to your intuition and following it. You are so scared that you ask for new intuition, but that's not how life works. The Uni-verse is constantly whispering to you, nudging you to trust It and take a leap. But if you don't take the leap of faith, then The Uni-verse can't open any more doors for you.” ThinkingChancePrayerListeningScaredIntuitionLeapOur PrayersLeap Of Faith Author:Mastin Kipp
“I'm not one for sitting around listening to my own music, because I tend to cringe and think that I could have done better. I also suffer from red light syndrome quite a lot. I tend to narrow my thinking when the red light goes on to record. Instead of just relaxing and playing and emoting, I think of time being wasted so I won't take a chance on something. Consequently, when I hear it back, I think, "Why the hell did I play it so safe on that piece of music when I could have really opened up?" Well, it's because of not wanting to make a mistake.” ThinkingDoneSufferingChanceMistakeHellListeningMusic IsTake A Chance Author:Ritchie Blackmore
