Listening is the key to everything good in music.
Playing and listening to music gives you a sense of fulfilment because you have to put everything in you at its disposal.
There are many benefits to this process of listening. The first is that good listeners are created as people feel listened to. Listening is a reciprocal process - we become more attentive to others if they have attended to us.

Obviously, it's great to know that your music is being listened to.
Playing music is a beautiful thing. But listening to music is just as great.
