Hi, It’s That Gratitude Guy with today’s 2-minute gratitude video:

Listening:  The Lost Art

Be sure and listen for today’s Gratitude Tip of the Day.

I have mentioned in the past that I have spent a considerable amount of time in Starbucks coffee shops as I have pursued my passion of spreading the advantages of living a life framed by gratitude.

So, the other day I witnessed two gentlemen talking when a third gentlemen comes up and asks how one of them was doing and what he had been up to.  The gentlemen mentioned that he had just returned from a trip to Hawaii, at which time the guy that asked the question goes off on a ten minute monologue about the last time he was in Hawaii.

Have we just plain forgotten how to listen?

I talk about gratitude a lot, and one of the things that I am grateful for is having a lot of close friends and acquaintances.  One of the best ways to maintain lasting friendships is to just plain listen.

If you are having difficulty focusing on being a good listener, using the following phrase can help a lot…… Tell me more……

I am so grateful that someone taught me that, and when used frequently, I assure you people will think you are the neatest person they.ve ever met.

Now the gratitude tip of the day:  Express your gratitude this week by simply listening, and using the phrase “tell me more” You might find a number of friends that say….. I am so grateful to have you as a friend.

Lastly, thank you for watching my videos, and to purchase a gratitude journal for you or a friend, just click on the Amazon link below.

I’m That Gratitude Guy, and remember….Be Grateful & Never Quit!
