Do You
Understand and Fulfill Needs of Others?
One of the golden rules of the therapy
profession is that everyone needs at least one person with whom they can
openly and unashamedly discuss every little detail – happenings, desires,
fears – of their life, whether it is from the past, present, or future.
There are other psychological needs – to be
accepted unconditionally, appreciated, recognized, respected, desired,
valued, approved of, or complimented – that affect the way we communicate
with each other.
Listen
carefully,
ask questions to show that you are genuinely interested and you'll be
amazed at the spin-offs from becoming a good question asker and a good
listener.

Jesus
on Love
"Love
your neighbor, but who is your neighbor. Your neighbor is the one who is
sent to you from the Divine. Your neighbor can be one who is a total
stranger to you from afar. Your neighbor can be someone living close to you.
But what is true is that your neighbor is one of the Light who needs your
support as much as you need his."

By:
Linda Eve Diamond
Rule #1: Stop Talking!
You can't multi-task speaking and
listening. If you're talking, you're not listening. This rule
also applies to the talking inside your head. If you're thinking
