You craft a elaborate content mixed with love, excitement, and hope --- only to hear crickets and no one engaging with your blog content.  

The first several years of blogging, I had no clue what I was doing. I had zero comments (aside from people I knew in real life), no subscribers (did not even have an email marketing system set up --- for while), and minimal followers.

Looking back...this was very daunting, discouraging, and draining.

Other Blogger Influencers seemed to curate incredible blogging platforms. Yet, there I was shouting my thoughts into a space where no one was shouting back.

There where many days when I considered quitting. But I knew quitting would not fix the issue(s). 

Thankfully, I learned from my mistakes ( still learning --- as all of us do).

I am so grateful for the huge strides I have made the last two years.

 INTRODUCTION

It is so easy to get wrapped up in our own world of passions, goals, and plans that we forget to stop and listen. We have forgotten how to develop good listening skills. Many say the art of listening has gotten lost somewhere along the way in our advancement of technology and speed of pace.

I used to wonder if this was the case, as I am just as involved as the next person within our technological world. However, I find myself more grateful for the capabilities technology offers us than resentful towards issues. You may say, well of course - you are a millennial,  you are bound to feel this way. But, truly, my age is irrelevant. Regardless of when/how this advancement has happened and despite our opinion- it is here to stay. Our best bet is to make the most of it!
