Listening includes asking. Listening includes asking questions. This includes asking questions of the other person. It involves listening to your heart.
People who sacrifice themselves are people who don’t listen to their own hearts. What you want to do in your heart?
If you live according to your true feelings, there will be no problems in your life.
You are saying that without listening to your heart or to what others are saying, your life is not going well. Ofcourse it won’t work out.
Just listen.
If my life is going well, it’s because I am listening. I am listening to my heart, and I am also listening to what others are saying.
Why do I have a young girlfriend? Because I am listening to young girls. Why does my business succeed? This is because I am listening to my customers’ needs and providing them with what they need and want. Why do I look healthy and young? Because I am listening to my body.
Nothing is difficult. Just listen.
As there are people who find this difficult and want to learn from me, I am teaching them. I am teaching it in basic Zen counseling. I am also teaching it in Applied Health Zen Counseling, Applied Love Zen Counseling, and Applied Business Zen Counseling.
Just listen. Any advice is to fail.
If you try to assert yourself, you will fail. If you don’t listen to your body, you will be sick.
You don’t need to make any effort.
That’s all I can tell you. I want you to experience that if you listen, things will go well.
You will definitely do well in the course.
You can learn until you know what works well in your daily life.
Stop complaining that your business isn’t going well without listening to your customers’ needs. Stop complaining that your love life isn’t going well without listening to your lover. Stop complaining about getting sick without listening to your own body’s conditions.
It’s about quitting the habit of not listening and developing the habit of listening.
