What to do we need?
Practice.
Practice?
We're talking about practice?
We need to keep practicing.
Practicing communication.
Practicing putting our phones down.
Practicing L.O.V.E.
We need to practice listening.
We need to practice observing all of the non-verbal communication.
Observing all of the distractions.
We need to practice verbalizing from a place of mutual respect.
We need to practice not just waiting for our turn to talk.
We need to practice empathy.
Because we don't know what it's really like over there.
For them.
Don't waste your time.
How do we not waste our precious time with those we love?
We practice.
We practice love.
How?
We ask.
We practice asking this every day.
What is it that I most deeply want in my life?
Listen to the answer.
Observe your bodily sensations about the answer.
Verbalize from love about the answer.
Empathize from your heart about the answer.
And just like The Answer, you'll begin to ask.
Are we talking about practice?
