A Training In Empathy

Practicing Empathy

It’s likely rare that a day doesn’t go by that you don’t feel anger or frustration.

Chances are even better that it’s the same for all of those around you.

Next time you notice your temperature rising or a touch of irritance, pause to find it in others.

Two things will happen.

One: You gain a sense of relief. Every emotion, not just misery, loves company and when we start to empathize with others, it makes us more comfortable with the emotions we’re feeling, no matter if it’s sadness or madness.

Two: It becomes about them and when it becomes about them an opportunity arises for you. What can you do to relieve their frustration?

As ol’ Zig would say, “You can get everything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want in life.”
