Listening

It just might be the most important ministry or gift one can practice.   Being a good listener is a gift and a character quality that is cherished among all walks of life.  We all are in need of a good listener from time to time. If that is what you need right now, if that is what your soul cries out for, you have found a safe place. You have found The Good Listener.

Our Spiritual

Principal

 

To sit at the feet of wisdom is a spiritual principal we embrace. What this means is we value you and what you have to say.  You have a wisdom to share. We respect that.

 

It doesn't matter if you are young, studder over your words, old, shy, or don't feel very wise. Your life story is an important contribution to the legacy of humanity. We have come to believe that this is one way to better the world. Listening to stories and histories makes the world a better place where love, learning, compassion, and understanding occurs.

Quotes

 

to remember

 

“The humble listen to their brothers and sisters because they assume they have something to learn. They are open to correction, and they become wiser through it.”
Thomas Dubay

 

“When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.”
Ernest Hemingway

 

“My wish has always been to write my own story, to create a life that’s worth writing about. But is a story worth anything at all if I have no one to tell it to?”

I get goosebumps sharing my story and after being heard, Wow!, I am left feeling so empowered, validated, and full of hope that my experiences could help someone else.

Meeting a
Good Listener

 

There are a few ways that you can meet a Good Listener:

 

-     face to face

-     through email

-     through Facebook

 

https://www.facebook.com/theministryofthegoodlistener

 

The Good Listener Community is developing in every city possible.  If you are interested in meeting a Good Listener in your city check your local news paper for an advertisement which indicates the location of The Good Listener and the time frame inwhich he or she is available.  This website also indicates times and locations.  See the box to the right of this paragraph for those listings.

 

When a face to face, sit down, conversation is not an option in your city, please, send us an email with your story.  We will read it as if we are right there with you and you will receive a response.  Our response will be simple because the intent is to listen to your wisdom, not give advice or counseling.  The simple response will be respectful, validating, and encouraging.  We sooo look forward to hearing from you.

There is such a wealth of wisdom, knowlege, and experience in each person I listen to.  There are so many lessons to be learned just by hearing what another person lived through and survived.  We don't have to just live life making a bunch of mistakes.  If we will only listen to the stories, full of wisdom, from the generations that precede us.  I may not be the best listener, but I am a fascinated one.  Can't beat that!
