Crucial Time

Having Empathy

It’s not easy for us to know when another person is going through a crucial time in their life, their work or their relationships.

Yet, you’ll be subject to criticism for not seeing it. You’ll deal with the consequences, begrudgingly.

Who could blame you though, for tuning into your own life?

They can.

They will.

They need you to see them; to ask more questions and to listen more than talk.

It’s too damn easy to brush empathy off, but both parties hurt when we do.

Stay Positive & It’s Not Fair In Short, But It Is In The Long Run
