Listen for “Moments” – and Make it Personal
About This Quote

In the book, "Meeting with Meaning," by educator and author Alan G. Heim, there is a chapter called "Listen for 'Moments' - And make it Personal". In the chapter, Heim explains that there are a whole lot of things going on in a person's life. These people have a lot to think about, and they don't always know how to make sense of everything going on at the same time.

The trick is to listen for those "moments" that feel like they really matter. When you feel like something really matters to you, then you need to find out about it. It might be good to talk to your spouse or close friend about what's going on in your own life.

This will help you better understand your situation and how the other person feels the situation.
