There is so much we can learn from one another. Not even a day goes by that I don't have at least one 'ah ha' moment brought on by something I have seen, heard or read. I learned a long time ago I stand to learn so much more and will go much further when I speak less and listen more. Our lessons can come from just about anywhere too. It is true, nesting birds, our pets, the Walmart check out gal, our children, the elderly, a spouse. What creates those listening moments is a willingness on our part to be completely open to new perspectives. To go into each situation saying, "let me be present in the moment and hear this voice in front of me."
What begins to happen is bits and pieces of all of these encounters, all of these voices become adaptable for our consideration. Once we are exposed to new ideas, we have the opportunity to either accept or reject this new information in whole or in part.
The real audio in us turns up when we amass a collection of voices throughout our environment. Today, I have audio from my travels to over thirty countries around the world. I have voices from sitting at the feet of my great grandmother. I have voices from meeting two Presidents of the United States. I have voices from the local baker and my neighbor whose husband's family comes from Cuba. I hear voices that have helped shape my consciousness, my passions, my very identity. My voices have saved the day at sketchy moments and sometimes in awkward moments. My voices have helped build my confidence, my ability to stretch my mind, my talents.
