Until I learn to listen -- to the Scriptures, to those around me, to
my own underlying life messages, to the wisdom of those who have already
maneuvered successfully around the dangers of a life that is
unmotivated and unmeaningful -- I will really have nothing whatever to
say about life myself. To live without listening is not to live at all;
it is simply to drift in my own backwater.
