Listening is a high art of loving. Ask yourself, “When was the last time I really listened to my child? My parent? My brother or sister?” When someone is ready to share, three magic words amplify your connection, and they are: “Tell me more”.
—Mary Manin Morrissey
Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?
—Mary Manin Morrissey
