Feeling Good Tip

When You Don’t Have an Answer, Listen

Yesterday I ran into a guy I know at the gym. This guy has biceps as big as my legs. When I looked at him he looked as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders and he was about to collapse from carrying it. I asked him how he was doing. He stopped and looked at me and said, “Terrible, Ray. Last night at dinner, out of the blue, my told me she was going to divorce me.” For a moment, I thought this big, strong guy was going to fall to pieces. He held it together. He talked and I listened. Sometimes we can’t help others to feel good, the best we can do is to listen. I think that is good enough. Maybe, as he went through his day, he’ll remember that somebody listened.
