Reader,

Last Wednesday I wrote to you about Meryl Streep’s intriguing comment regarding fellow actor Robert Redford.

If you missed it, you can get it when you click here.

She mentioned that Redford, who surprisingly is now 87 years old, is such a good listener.

Her comment reminded me of another quote about being a good listener. It comes from author and podcaster, Emily P. Freeman who said

Good listeners can change the world. I know this because they changed mine.

What a powerful way to impact the world, one person at a time. It makes me think of a few people who changed my world because they listened to me.

One in particular comes to mind.

I’ll tell you about her next week.

In the meantime, I wonder who’s changed your world because they listened to you. I’d love to hear about it.

Until next week, I wish you all the joy that you can wish.*
