When we don’t want to hear it….
 Â
Dr. Robert Anthony has said, “The thing you resist is the thing you most need to hear. ”
 When my daughter Ashlyn sees me walking up to her with a toothbrush, a bottle of medicine, or her PJs she says, “Don’t say it Daddy”.  She doesn’t want to hear about what she doesn’t want to do anything about. Like the girl in the picture she is emotionally putting her hands over her ears.  My teenage son uses earphones and music instead of his hands… I often use my schedule as a tool to resist listening to what I need to hear.Â
What do you use to stop from listening? And a more important question … what is it you most need to hear? And the most important question…. What are you going do about it?

Oh yes…not only must we uncover our ears, we need to ask for feedback more often. It is an essential tool for growth. Thanks for the reminder Kirk!
