Quite often when Brian returns from a little excursion to the grocery store, he has a story to tell. So when he returned home the other day, I was intrigued with his story.
This story is too good to keep to ourselves, so let me share it with you.
Here’s what happened.
Brian was at the deli counter, and in his usual friendly manner, he asked the deli clerk (I’ll call her Kara), “How’s it going?”
As Kara kind of bobbed her head from side to side, Brian observed that she seemed kind of down and out. So he again questioned her.
This time she replied,“I’m having a hard time finding a job in my field. I finished school, and I don’t want to work here anymore. I missed a few open house employment job searches at certain locations.”
So Brian advised her…
“Don’t try to force it! You are a good person. You studied hard. If the right job has not come to you, it will. You’ll see!”
As Kara listened, he continued, “Do you remember some time in your life when you wanted something to work, and you forced it and it did not work out? I told my daughter that one day when she wanted to meet the right guy, and I said to her: Don’t force it. Don’t try to make it work. You won’t attract the right person by forcing it.”
Well, Kara was so pleased and so happy from what Brian said that she smiled from ear to ear.
And you know how smiles are contagious, right?
So, of course, Brian also smiled from ear to ear! By helping Kara, he brought happiness to both of them.
I’d say that Kara was listening to Brian’s words of wisdom with her heart, wouldn’t you?
And that ties right in with my lyrics I wrote for the song, ‘Listen With Love’:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Listen with Love.
Listen with your heart.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
These are short love quotes for you to live by.
Who needs for you to listen with love and with your heart?
When someone is talking to you, do you think about what you’re going to say next instead of listening to them with love?
How do you feel when you know someone is listening to you with love?
Don’t you want your loved ones to feel that way when you listen with love to them?
Yes, of course you do!
And, why not listen with love to people you don’t know?
By doing so, you bring good energy to our planet. And we definitely need more of that, don’t we?
So, remember these short love quotes from my lyrics…
“Listen with Love. Listen with your heart.”
And you’ll become a better communicator as well as a happier person.
Till next time…
Wishing you peace, joy and love,
