Listening is hard. I do a better job of it when its music I'm listening to.

When it comes to listening to other people, I have to consciously turn down the volume of my own thoughts. Then, I have to stop my tendency to form responses to what I'm hearing. Finally, I have to force myself to wait a beat when I think it is my turn to speak, in case I'm wrong.

There are no negatives to doing this. It is difficult, but that is not a negative.

Certainly, I am not always successful. I fail, out of a lack of thinking about what I'm doing. Out of not being present. Out of being distracted when a conversation starts. But the more I try to do it, the more successes I have. 

Success, in this case, is defined by communication.
