Thank people for sharing their thoughts with you. Giving voice to those jumbled lines inside the mind is one of the most precious gifts a person can offer. "A penny for your thoughts." As if a monetary value could be placed on those silent ideas that so rarely escape the confines of their prison. Those seemingly unimportant thoughts are sacred. When a person shares aloud their inner dialogue, they are speaking less of their ideas and more of their trust in you. Thank people for sharing their thoughts with you.
