Be the better listener than COFFEE...!!!!

Yes it has been a cliché that coffee is good listener, When we were younger it was just coffee. Now it’s latte, frappucino, Macchiato, Mocha and all kinds of other strange words, but again I want to say that it is only the good listener, not the better one so the position is still vacant for you. But why we said coffee is the good listener? Maybe it could listen our mind while we sit alone with it then anything could be the good listener which is not the bad taste of your mouth .Again you are thinking that I have some personal hostility with coffee? The big no is the answer but my concern is not the coffee but the important of listening in the life whatever it be if coffee suits you go with it and do listen what your mind and heart says or what somebody you’re near and dear says as it is really soothing for the speaking mind and listener.

Again speed of the life is constant i.e. seconds are fixed in each minute but again it is accelerating like anything and as the time passes we get to know that how fast it has been .The big problem with the fast life is nobody has time to give and here time has been symbolized like a money. If you have time and skills both you can convert your time into money making tools for yourself. There are so much everywhere, so much to do, so much to understand, so much to create, so much leave ,so much to expect, so much to share ,so much to lose etc  but we forget this has created one more so much ,on which our senses don’t go i.e. so much to listen.

Again I am falling for the coffee and it is interesting to know that we consume billion of cups coffee per year and it is the second biggest commodity which has been traded after oil and we call it good listener so listening ear should not be the problem anymore but is one of the biggest problem, we don’t find anyone who could listen us better or peacefully, Laughter, but again if we put aside the data and think about the date with one cup coffee things become more clear as alone we could listen ourselves better through the channel of one cup coffee. 

Whatever the problem whether it is small or big ,when it come into our life we want solution but before that we seek the listening ear and if we find the same it seems problem half solved. And one of the biggest problem now a day’s our attention spans are shorts, we have huge data and information inflow at every now and then, whether we are watching TV, surfing net on mobile devices and so on and this has been also the great hindrance while listing to somebody or paying attention on something.

But why the listen is so important in our life and if it is not there what could be the consequences well again I want to say that all we see the series of consequences ,sometime we could figure out the reason and many a times we could not. The results are broken relationships and hearts, lost personalities, stress or tension, nervous breakdown and many more kind of problems. To listen carefully is the symbol of love and care and it is not there and you have replaced something else with it , the result would be not favorable. So every good relationship or friendship has roots in the better listening and understandings. 

Many a times due to love and care we unknowingly achieve that level where we could understand what has not said. So it is the just upper crust but for this we have to cross the very first level of listening and understanding. Only then we could observe the healthy relationships.

Here i am not going to list down the tips how you could listen better but my concern here is the importance of the same in our life as like a simple sober coffee which seems very small part of our day life yet very indispensable as without it we feel incompleteness in our routine and  like this we have same small but great importance of listening .Listening to our near and dears who make our life worth living and to whom we give and take memories, moments, stories, buzz of excitements and other lots of stuff, which we could discuss over a warm cup of coffee and only then we could make life worth living and looking back.....  -abhijeet@mindspa
