Hey there, and welcome to Wake Me Up, Premium Feed. Hey there, and welcome to Wake Me Up.

I'm your host Tyler, as always,

and I'm so thrilled that you're here with me today.

This week, we've been talking about the act of listening.

And the fast production-driven nature that most of us live in,

we so often forget to quiet our own voices.

When the quality of our listening improves,

so does our ability to absorb new information,

to be guided with better clarity,

and to hold space for other people.

The other day I mentioned an old Arabic proverb that goes like this.

The smarter you get, the less you speak.

Friends, we don't learn by talking.

We learn by listening.

People will tell you how to make them happy,

and so will your own heart. but you have to be actively listening.

This morning's motivational bit will shift your awareness towards being a better receiver

for yourself and for other people.

But before we dive in, let's just pause for one moment.

Wherever you are, take a deep breath in, fill all the way into your lungs and your belly.
