Just Listen

We all have those times, those moments, those needs to get something off our chests. Sometimes, it is a hurt that we just need to vent off. Sometimes, it is a frustration that needs to be released. Other times, it is a tense situation that needs a little massage. Whatever the case, there are times when we all need to get something said.

I don't know about you but I have been guilty, at times, of half listening to someone. I have been guilty of thinking to myself, "Oh boy, here we go again." It's not easy to admit, but it is true. Most of the time, folks just need someone to listen, they want to be heard. Why should that be so difficult?

Today's word is a thought I came across one day that has really stuck with me. It says, "Nothing ever got worse from talking about it. Just pick the right person to talk to."

Nothing gets worse by getting it off your chest. The only thing that could go wrong is someone violating your trust and telling your business; that's why you have to pick the right person to talk to. The point is, it is okay to talk about things, to vent, to get things off your chest, to release that hurt, that anger, that frustration. Most of the time all it takes is just to get it said. All I really need to do is listen; that really shouldn't be that tough.

If you ever feel the need to say something, you can trust me. I am the most confidential person you will ever meet. If you need someone to listen, I will try to be better at it. We all need someone to talk to, and it never hurts anything to get it said. Pick the right person and get it off your chest. You may just be surprised at how freeing it is.

Be Blessed,
