Today's Quote:
Gloria Steinem
Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.
Today's Inspiring Thought: Practice Empathy
The only way to really practice empathy (which incidentally means “the feeling that you understand and share another person’s experiences and emotions”) is to listen and try to understand without judgment. This isn’t always easy. Too often our own opinions get in the way of listening, and we try and convince our friends that our way of doing things is right.
Another issue is that we’re too busy trying to feel understood, and then don’t take the time to understand someone else. Doing empathy right means you slow down, focus on what’s important, actively listen, and be present.
