Motivational speaker J.B. Glossinger tweeted this: βLive without pretending; love without depending; listen without defending; speak without offending.β
Lots of wisdom in a dozen words!
To live without pretending means to be authentic and transparent.Β Β Authenticity is a compelling attribute.Β Β It draws people to you.
To love without depending on is to love unconditionally.Β Β Itβs choosing to provide support and care to family, friends, and colleagues without them having to earn it.Β Β Itβs leading with love rather than responding with love.
Listening without defending means to seek first to understand.Β Β Most people listen and begin composing a response.Β Β When you can withhold judgment and suspend response, you have a better chance of hearing all that is being communicated.
Speaking without offending is being deliberate about what you say and considering before blurting out a response.Β Β I know I love my own voice, but patience in communication rules out the offense.
