DAY 13: 90 Days. 90 Sparks.

Most people don’t listen to understand.
They listen to reply — or worse, to defend, fix, or move on.

But real listening is different.
It’s not waiting for your turn to talk.
It’s creating space for the other person to feel seen, heard, and safe.

– They listen without jumping to solve.

Because when you truly listen,
Walls drop, trust grows, and better ideas surface.

Today’s Spark:
To be heard, start by listening.
