Challenge #2 - Learning to listen

In a life where we can be dictated how to be or who we are, we are also given the opportunity to break out of the box of conformity.  One way would be with ourselves, making change from past behaviours.  

The most recent is a drive by many, "#metoo"  


People are standing up to change past behaviours that were, at one time, acceptable.  I've had conversations with many men and women about this movement.  Some in support, some saying it's a band-wagon that many are using to improve their personal situation both financially or otherwise.  

I've discussed the past, women breaking out and becoming considered "People" and truthfully, between 1917 to 1940 women gained the right to vote (in Canada) and then in 1929 under Canadian law, women were considered "people".  I am quite sure that there were many who thought this "movement" back then was unnecessary and perhaps mad.

I'd say to try and get out there to make a difference in this world, in this life with a positive attitude but truthfully, I want you to know that making a difference is simply opening up your mind and accepting difference in others, creating a moment in your life to learn something new.  


Today's challenge..


Listen to another to hear them and learn, don't listen to speak.
