Always start with empathy...

Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. I want my children to always begin and end with empathy. I think learning about other cultures has really helped me in becoming more empathetic. There has been a tectonic shift in how I view the world since having two little girls. An even bigger shift has come since 2016 when Garyvee first introduced me to the idea. I’ve done my best to operate with empathy since reading his first book. Empathy doesn’t come naturally to me, i can be a hard ass. It’s difficult at times for me to understand someone else’s point of view. But it’s work we can all improve upon. Even a 5% improvement across society can bring about change. I hope this lesson gives some of you pause in thinking about their own habits of such a vital skill.
