Honoring News of the Day:

“Regardless of the reasons, 29% decline in suicide rates is equal to the survival of roughly 2.8 million people over the course of the last two decades – and that is certainly no small step for mankind.”

However, rates have risen in the US since 2000. Which is why I want to highlight my very dear friend’s incredible ministry Death2Life Revolution.  Mario D’Ortenzio has been rock’n it through this ministry to young people. Over 2,500 young ones call every single day who are contemplating suicide and need help.

Hark: the unofficial definition is: Listen, for the love of all things holy, listen.

If you want to hark the heck out of your relationship then simply:

  1. Don’t interrupt
  2. Seek understanding
  3. Be kind

Attitude matters if you want to improve your communication. But in essence, what we are trying to say, you can improve your communication dramatically if you would just stop talking and start harking...or just listening.
