Listening
When we listen for what we don’t know, rather than for what we have already assimilated previously, we open ourselves up to hear creative insight from within. Listening with nothing on our mind is the best method for hearing our own innate wisdom, common sense, and genius.
Well-being, leadership, artistry, clarity: whatever we need to know, springs from within us.
