I was listening to one of Jordan Peterson’s talk, and what he said really made sense.

Jordan Peterson
"Listening is the art of understand the meaning behind the words. ~ You should be afraid of taking risk and pursuing something meaningful, but you should be more afraid of staying where you are if it's making you miserable. ~ The clock is ticking.  and if you are miserable now, and you change nothing in five years, you will be much more miserable."  "If people are not listening to you, stop talking to them. ~ Start watching ~ ones that are not listening ~ pull back because you are devaluing what you have to say."
