Proverbs 19:20 (NIV)
20 Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
Oftentimes, wisdom comes through experience. However, we can also learn from others- by watching their mistakes or paying close attention to the habits and behaviors that led to their success.
Alternately, in the absence of direct personal experience or watching someone else, we can listen to others – hearing their stories and paying attention as they recount their experiences.
Experience can be an excellent teacher; and the advice and discipline of those with more experience can be valuable tools for growth – personally, professionally, mentally and spiritually.
Listening can be hard. Do it Anyway.
Listen with an ear to hear.
