    Blog #182 – Connect with Empathy

    Practicing empathy will make you a better person. As you practice empathy it will benefit you and help you develop a deeper connection with the other person or group.

    Definition of empathy

    the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner

    Merriam Webster

    Practicing empathy will give you a whole new perspective and understanding. You will be able to understand why people make the decisions they make. You will be able to understand how to help them where they are.

    There is no judgement when practicing empathy. There is only understanding. Until you completely understand where a person is coming from and what they have been through then you will never be able to help someone. You will also never be able to help someone if you stay down at their level. You must meet them where they are and then lift them up.

  • Blog #122 – Do this more

    “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

    Dr. SEuss

    Reading will take you places you’ve never dreamed about. It can open your mind to new possibilities and take you on an escape from reality. Some people will study a topic for their entire life and then write a book about it. You can read that book and download their knowledge in a matter of minutes or hours. If you are struggling with anything then seek knowledge on the topic your struggling with. More than likely you are not the first person to struggle with this. Learn from other people’s lives who have been nice enough to write it down for you.
