“If you want to be truly understood, you need to say everything three times, in three different ways. Once for each ear… And once for the heart.” – Paula Underwood Spencer

On occasion, I will tell a joke. If you have been around me enough and choose to continue coming back, chances are you will hear the same story more than once. It will vary in content, characters and certainly details, but the punch line will be the same. Paula Underwood Spencer’s words made a thought that I have had repeatedly over the last few months echo in my head; I have been telling this story all my life.

In order to be heard, the delivery might need to be crafted for a certain audience; fast, slow, serious, stern, loving. If your audience is repeat, a detail here or there must change to keep them interested. No matter the story, to make sure, We must tell the tale multiple times to finally be heard.

Our lives are ever changing, but who We are has been with Us from birth, possibly even before. Each day We tell our story in hopes that someone will listen. The question is whether or not we are listening to Ourselves.

There are incredibly important messages delivered to Us everyday. We work hard to listen for and to them. Sometimes however, we forget to listen to Our own story. The messages that come from within us can move mountains.

Our Soul speaks to us constantly. The wisdom and advice repeated many more times than three. Listen when it does and let your heart be the first to hear.

Peace
