Connecting the Dots - Not 4

Connecting the dots is not something that should always be done aloud. I’ve learned over time that there are inappropriate times. It always comes down to the act of listening.  

·         If my mind is racing looking around for the dots while I am in conversation, I am not listening.

·         If I make a connection and blurt it out while someone is pouring their heart out, I am not listening.
·         If I finish someones sentence with or before them, I'm not listening. 
·         If I offer a solution when they haven't offered it to me to solve, I'm not listening.
