Listen.

Recently I've been learning the importance of listening.

Too often I get caught up in finding answers.

in giving advice

And I forget the value of caring about someone

enough to be patient,

be silent,

be present.

And listen.

Afterall, it's the first step to loving,

hearing.

"I believe in being present," Morrie said. "That means you're with the person you're with."
