The other day I wrote a blog about being mindful. But it turned into a rant about how rude the cashiers are in supermarket; how you could be invisible because there certainly isn’t any eye contact and they continue with their conversations with the packers. And guess what? This is turning into another rant – definitely not what I had in mind for today.
What I do have in mind though, is about being focused; giving whoever or whatever your full and undivided attention.
And then, ‘voila’. This great quote popped up in my facebook page and it was titled Mindful Monday (author unknown)
“One of the ways in which you can take the stars from your eyes and really see another person is to simply listen to them, to give them the gift of your full, undivided attention without judgment or agenda. Don't think about how you might be able to help them or what you're going to say when they stop talking. Be receptive but not passive. Actively listen without being aware of being a listener."
