The 5 L’s: Dr McGarey suggests to evaluate and order our lives:

#5: Listening: Listening devoid of love is mere sounds, lacking depth and resonance. However, when we listen with love, a profound transformation occurs. Love-infused listening transcends surface-level reception, leading to genuine understanding. It is through listening with love and empathy that we cultivate true connection. This empathetic listening allows us to truly support others, creating a space where they feel heard, validated, and understood. In turn, this reciprocal exchange of love and understanding brings about a deep sense of fulfillment, enriching both the listener and the speaker.
