Listen, Please
Growing up, my Mum used to tell me I never listened. I never listened to her, of course, what did she know? Then at school it was the same thing. Of course, I dismissed that.
And I was fine for years, until one day I bumped into someone I hadn’t seen since Sixth Form.
After an awkward conversation where he told me what he’d done with his life – loads – and I said what I’d done with mine – loads, but not as loads as he had if you get me – he said “you know what your problem is?”
“What?”
“You don’t listen, and now it’s grabbed you by the you-know-what’s.”
And this time? This time I listened. Why? Because nobody had told me this harsh truth for years, and now, as an adult, I could finally appreciate what he was saying.
So I decided to change.Not just change the way I was, but look at how I was living my life, and how my actions affected other people around me. People I trusted and people I had known all my life.
The next time I went to my bank manager for some financial advice I listened. It helped! And the next time I saw my Mum, I took her advice on board.
Since then life has been better, and the journey through life has been greater.
If you are like how I used to be, sort it out, OK? If you don’t listen, trust me, you never learn.
