Today after talking to my friends
in office, got a thought of self-listening, it is what we all have learned from
our childhood that when we speak it is to give information to people around,
how about making a small change in the above theory? What if someone come and
say whatever we speak should be heard by us before anyone listens or understand
it? I might be sounding strange but I believe in the fact, as a human it is
really important that we should listed what we say before anyone else listens
to it.
Let’s try and define
self-listening, I strongly believe many of you will not agree to what I said
above also I believe people who go in line with above will have their own
version of the self-listening right? I can give you my definition for the same
and will be happy to hear your definition. As per my definition, I would first
like to define SELF: for me self means person’s core believes, core thinking
and core intent to living many of you can relate my definition with heart, some
will be able to relate this with mind but for me above is related to sole and
life which can include any part of human i.e. heart or mind. Now let me try and
define LISTENING: it is an art where series or emotions flows in for of words
or sound waves which sometimes we can understand most of the time we cannot
understand.
SELF- LISTENING can be defined by above two
definition right? So here I go with my definition: series of emotions in form
sound waves going to our sole and making us understand the meaning of each
emotions/words/wave of sound. Having said that in important question comes up,
listening is what is comes into us from outer world, then how to do
self-listening?
Answer of above question also
comes from our childhood learnings, I remember my father/mother and teachers
saying “Think before you speak” I believe the overall intent there was
to have self-listening so that we don’t hear anyone around us. Strongest weapon
we humans have is not the biggest big range missiles or bio chemical weapons
but it is the inner strength we have is “Speak”. Remember one of the strongest
person called “Hitler” he was able to control thousands of peoples just by his
voice.
There can be many benefits one can
think of self-listening, for me the biggest one is: we can avoid fights and conflicts
between two people which can intern become a conflict between thousands of
people and different countries. I can’t think a bigger benefit of
self-listening, I feel whole world will be much beautiful and happier place to
live.
Please think around it.
